        "text": "While both roles involve project oversight, a commercial general contractor typically assumes the financial risk and is responsible for the overall project cost and schedule, often working under a fixed-price or GMP contract. A construction manager, on the other hand, usually works for a fee as an agent of the owner, providing advisory services and managing the project without taking on the direct financial risk of the construction itself. Opus Builders primarily functions as a general contractor, delivering comprehensive design and build solutions.",
