Mastering the skills for consistent and accurate performance on construction projects has become an increasing priority by construction professionals and contractors.

"Individuals certified to manage construction projects have not only realized increased on-site responsibility but a pay increase of over 16 percent and the skills and ability to advance within the construction industry" ( Certification Magazine 2005) .

Who Should Attend: This program is designed for individuals at all levels in the construction industry who require project management skills to be highly effective in their work.

Tools and technique-based, participants and their contractors will benefit from:

  • Accurate planning (scheduling and duration estimates) and creating a road-map for steady project activity leading toward clear completion dates
  • Creating clear expectations and accountability (working with sub-contractors and customers in a clear and consistent manner)
  • Optimizing schedules for cost effective and accurate allocation of resources (who, when, what – and how much!)
  • Accurate measures of project progress, spotting problems and staying on schedule, on budget and closing the project on time

Consistent with industry standards through the Project Management Institute, this program is presented in a clear, non-technical and easy-to-understand language.
