Construction Management
Construction management is designed to provide an understanding of not only building but all of the factors that are involved with running a building company and managing daily operations at a construction site. We will examine a wide range of issues such as working with governmental agencies like the EPA, OSHA, city building departments, inspections, materials, take-offs, estimating, managerial skills, and much more. I am the past President of a Home Building company and believe in preparing students for the workplace.
