Why Attend This Training Course?

The field of construction management is heterogeneous and enormously complex. There are several major classifications of construction that differ markedly from each other: housing, nonresidential building, heavy, highway, utility, and industrial projects. Such projects involve much time and expense, and close management control of them is required if they are to be completed within the established time and cost limitations. A construction manager is in charge of the overall planning and control of a project; this demands a command of many skills. The Construction Project Administration & Site Management training course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge of the regulatory, insurance, management, safety, estimating, and environmental aspects of the construction management industry.
