There's indeed a difference between project management and construction management consultancy.

The confusion around these occur due to the fact that many organizations providing CM Consultancy also act as  PMC on many occasions.

CM consulting is an application area consulting.Just like we have Engineering & Process Consultancies

PM consultancy uses the services of these application area consultants in delivering the final product-building,plant or facility.

To give u an example:

Suppose the PMC is told by the owner that they would like the construction completed 4 weeks before the stipulated end date.

The PMC, to explore the possibilities would/could consult the CM or/and Engineering consultants on ways to expedite the same.
