Construction management is the most vital function on a job site. Construction managers represent the interests of the building owner or the contractor and interact with architects, engineers, subcontractors, vendors and suppliers to ensure the success of the construction projects in the built environment. This program focuses on the business of construction and technology, such as building information modeling. Students learn: the basics of design the construction methods specific to each type of construction (heavy, residential, commercial, specialty) how to estimate, schedule and control the costs of a project the process of sustainable or green construction what it takes to manage the people involved and the various types of contracts Students are prepared with the computer, management, technical and people skills needed to succeed. This is one of two construction programs in the state of Arizona and one of approximately 80 accredited programs in the nation.
