Construction Management and CMAA’s presence in HawaiiThe construction of a project or program

involves the outlay of large sums of capital bythe Owner in a venue where the interests of theother parties involved may not exactly mirrortheir own. Successful project completionrequires each of the stakeholders to navigatesituations that arise for which (a lot of the time)there are no standard procedures, writtenrules, or if there are they reside in the grayareas of interpretation. Specifications andProvisions are written to guide the project’sconstruction, but inevitably, interpretation byparties with different perspectives or motiva-tions will vary. This is the arena in which theConstruction Manager makes a difference.

Construction Management as a field originat-ed in the 1960’s. As the size, scope, and com-plexity of projects grew, there became a needto develop an entity that could liaison betweenthe Owner, the Designer, and the GeneralContractor, ensuring the intent of the designer’sdrawings was safely and properly constructedat a fair price both to the owner and the con-tractor. From this need, the role of theConstruction Manager was born.

The use of Professional CM Services duringthe pre-design planning, design, and construc-tion processes has been widely recognized byboth the public and private sector as an effec-tive and efficient method of ensuring the intentof the contract drawings are delivered in theactual constructed project at the most reason-able cost.

The difference between a CCM and a PE.Professional Engineers are licensed. This

license is a requirement that ensures thelicensee has the skills and abilities necessaryto competently design (or change a design) aswell as make competent decisions regardingthe facilities under construction so that they aresafe to occupy and operate, and be able tocompletely fulfil the function for which they areintended. The training for Engineers tends tobe more technical and analytical.

Construction Managers are certified. Thiscertification, while including educational com-ponents, is most critically based on the candi-date’s experience navigating the complexitiesof day to day construction in the field. To devel-op the understanding of the constructionprocesses necessary to become an effectiveConstruction Manager (or a CertifiedConstruction Manager –CCM) requires thecandidate to have field experience managingthe fires of day to day construction and resultsin a strong understanding and working knowl-edge of disciplines of construction; which arevery different from those required of the PE.

Intimate knowledge of field construction

processes, knowingwhere to expectissues before theyarise, minimization ofimpacts to scheduleand budget fromthese issues, beingable to effectivelycoordinate multipleoperations, teams, orprojects, partnering(stakeholder coordi-nation), site safety,and possessing the ability to effectively com-municate with both the owner and the contac-tor to find the most efficient path forwardthrough potential delay situations are the realmof the CM. These skills sets are very differentfrom those of the Engineer, and they are notinterchangeable. Both are essential to thedelivery of a high quality project. Assigning aCM role to an Engineer with limited field expe-rience is as irrational as assigning anEngineering role to a CM with limited designexperience.What is CMAA?

CMAA- the Construction ManagementAssociation of America was formed in 1982and is North America’s only organization dedi-cated exclusively to the interests of profession-al Construction and Program Management.Current membership is more than 14,000.CMAA has 28 regional chapters and 50 stu-dent chapters at colleges and universitiesnationwide.

The Mission of CMAA is to promote the pro-fession of Construction Management and theuse of qualified Construction Managers oncapital projects and programs.

The Vision of CMAA is that all owners willrealize capital project and program success byusing professionally qualified ConstructionManagers.

CMAA’s history in Hawaii- In 2010 and2011, a group of Engineers, ConstructionManagers and Companies, led by Cliff Lum,Lance Luke, Eric Iwamoto, and supported byBowers + Kubota, RM Towill, AECOM, and URSfounded our Hawaii chapter. This team set upand enacted all of the foundations upon whichour Hawaii chapter has been built, they estab-lished our Chapter’s by laws and provided theinitial push and funding that got our chapterstarted.

In 2012 & 2013, under the leadership ofPresident Mike Young, (Board- Past PresidentCliff Lum, VP Tim Bramsen, Secretary NeilKaneshiro, and Treasurer Wes Wong) ourChapter built on the foundations laid by the

2011 board. Wedeveloped and pub-lished our first calen-dar of events andbegan planning, coor-dination, and facilita-tion of our Chapteractivities including Bimonthly Luncheonmeetings for member-ship, ProfessionalConstruction Managertraining, Applicationworkshops, Happyhours, Golf tourna-ment, scholarships,site visits, Community service events, and theadoption and development of our first CMAAStudent Chapter; working with Norman Takeya(Head of CM at Honolulu Community College).In 2013 we also awarded our first CM studentscholarship. When Mike started as Presidentthere were 4 CCMs in Hawaii, when he leftoffice there were 19. All of this activity culminat-ed in 2013, when at the National Conference,in Las Vegas, our Hawaii Chapter won theCMAA Chapter of the year award.

Nine YMF members attended a walk-throughof the Kaneohe Kailua Tunnel Project on July25th, 2015. An overview of the project was pro-vided by the Construction Manager and sever-al shaft construction techniques were dis-cussed. The site walk through took place at theKailua RWWTP where several mini shafts andthe main Tunnel Influent Pump Station Shaft arelocated. Excavation material from the tunnelcould be seen being removed by train cartsand craned to a stock pile on site.The project consists of constructing a gravitysewer line that runs from Kaneohe to Kailua toalleviate the aging sewer force main that cur-rently services the plant. The gravity sewer

line also allows storage of wastewater to pre-vent overflows and spills, especially duringperiods of high rainfall.

On September 12, 2015, HSPE had its instal-lation banquet in Kailua-Kona at the DaylightMind Coffee Company. HSPE’s officers weresworn in by NSPE President, Tim Austin, whomade the trip to Hawaii from Wichita, Kansas.HSPE’s 2015 – 2016 officers are listed above.

The luncheon was hosted by the Kona-Kohala Chapter of HSPE, and organized byMarc Botticelli, their Past-President.

During the meeting, Tim Austin’s goals asNSPE president included re-focusing onNSPE’s root philosophy at the time of its originin 1934; that engineering licensure exist for theprotection of the public health, safety and wel-fare, and to build the public’s appreciation forengineers.

Tim also noted that NSPE will be further dis-cussing the issue of the B+30; that is, whetherto implement a prerequisite for licensure for PEcandidates to have a bachelor’s degree pluseither 30 additional credits or a master’sdegree in engineering. Per Craig N.Musselman, P.E., F.NSPE, Dist. M.ASCE opin-ion piece on the B+30 Model Law’s Impact OnProfessional Engineering, the model law is aguidance document to State licensing boards.Each state must individually determine if andwhen they will adopt this model law change.The additional 30 hours of coursework can betaken at any time between graduation and thegranting of the PE license. Coursework may bea master’s degree in engineering or other formsof acceptable coursework in engineering,mathematics, science and professional prac-tice topic areas. The required content of“acceptable coursework” will be established inModel Rules which have been suggested thisyear by the NCEES B+30 Task Force for delib-eration and input. NSPE is actively participat-ing in this Task Force.

NSPE is now partnering with the Order ofthe Engineer. The Order typically holds cere-monies at colleges where participants recite anobligation to an ethical code. A stainless steelring is given to participants to wear on the littlefinger of their working hand. The ring serves asa visible symbol to identify engineers to thepublic, and also a constant reminder of the eth-ical obligation to the engineers who wear it.Tim encouraged members to support theOrder of the Engineer because of its strongethical foundation, and also because it is agreat way to connect with future engineersnearing their college graduation.

Want to know more about what is going on atthe national level? Tim acknowledged NSPE’sgreat social media presence. Find them onFacebook and Twitter or at www.nspe.org.

ASME HAWAII SECTION HISTORYThis time I would like to talk about ASME-HI’s

participation in Hawaii MATHCOUNTS, helpingthe Hawaii Society of Professional Engineers(HSPE) plan and conduct the competitions.Hawaii MATHCOUNTS began in 1983, over 32years ago. The earliest steady ASME-HI volun-teer is believed to be Professor Dean Kihara,who also was representing the Department ofEngineering, UHM. Dr. Kihara was on theMATHCOUNTS Steering Committee andrecruited proctor and scorer volunteers, direct-ed the proctors during the competitions, andcontrolled the refreshments. The SteeringCommittee is composed of HSPE members,Educators from the Hawaii Department ofEducation, Kamehameha Schools BishopEstate volunteers, and ASME-HI members.

Chester Kaitoku was the next steady ASME-HI volunteer who was also on the SteeringCommittee. Chester ensured that the proctor-ing was performed according to the rules. BothDean and Chester remained involved withMATHCOUNTS until they passed away.

Ed Chang was the next ASME-HI volunteerjoining the Steering Committee. He currentlyrecruits the proctor and scorer volunteers fromHawaiian Electric, the U.S. Army Corp ofEngineers (USACE), and ASCE YoungMembers Forum. Ed also helps with refresh-ment serving, and assembles the news articlefor the Wiliki. Next to participate is Guy Pasco,who is also on the Steering Committee. Guy isin charge of placements of Mathletes andschools and final results.

SEPTEMBER BOARD MTG HIGHLIGHTS:FUND RAISER FOR 2015 – A majority of the

Board opted to have a Zippy’s Chili fundraiserinstead of any of the other possible choiceswhich included “dancing at Rumours.” Actuallythe choice was highly recommended by ourPresident Frank as he has had some goodexperience and success with Chili fundraiserswith another organization he belongs to. OkFaleans, get ready and hone up on your salesskills for this October-November project.

LITO ALCANTRA, AWARDS RECIPIENT –Congratulations to Lito Alcantra, a past presi-dent of FALEA, for receiving the Dr. Jose P.Rizal Award for Peace & Justice recently, fromThe Order of the Knights of Rizal, HawaiiChapter, during special ceremonies at theFilipino Community Center. This Award is givenannually to an individual whose exceptional

In 2014, I took over the helm of CMAA Hawaiiand did my best to fill the very large slippersleft by Mike Young, to continue and solidify theprograms that we had put into place and toattempt to build on our Chapter’s successes of2013. (2014 Board- Past President Mike Young,VP Neil Kaneshiro/ Dustin Timm, SecretaryDustin Timm/ Derek Mukai, and Treasurer DarlaGuerrero/ Jeff Clark) We added 2 Directorshippositions to stabilize the Board (Bill Thornton,and Derek Mukai) and our 2nd Student CMAAChapter (Heald College). Thanks largely to theCity & County of Honolulu’s Department ofDesign and Construction’s preference to haveCertified Construction Manager’s involved ontheir projects, doubled our number of CCM’s inHawaii to 38. At the CMAA NationalConference in San Francisco last year, ourchapter was awarded the CMAA Chapter of theYear for the 2nd year in a row.

In 2015, under the leadership of ourPresident Derek Mukai, and thanks to theefforts and support of our Board (PastPresident Tim Bramsen, VP Jeff Clark,Secretary Bill Thornton, and Treasurer ChandraNamumnart) and Committee Chairs, we arecontinuing on our path to success. The closureof Heald College has left us with a singleStudent Chapter, but we are working closelywith them to ensure they successfully start ontheir career paths toward being ConstructionManagers. We are actively trying to expandour Chapter over to Maui and are making goodstrides with that (thanks to the efforts of DustinTimm and Bill Thornton), and our events havebeen “classed up“ quite a bit thanks in largepart to the work of Chandra Namumnart andTim Lum Yee. Because of the generosity of ourmembers and supporting firms, we will againbe able to award more CM scholarships thisyear. We now have more than 50 CCMs inHawaii, our chapter has grown to nearly 200members and thanks to the efforts of ourBoard, Committees, and Chairs, and to thesupport of our membership, we are hoping tobe awarded a National Chapter of the Year3peat.
