You’ll coordinate with architects, engineers and contractors, manage resources, and ensure compliance with safety regulations and building codes.

See projects through from start to finish

Construction project manage from all phases. Construction projects involve several phases, from the preconstruction, the process of execution and progress, and the post construction phase. Graduates will find opportunity to estimate, bid, survey, monitor, etc. through the development of the projects they are involved with.

Heavy Civil, Commercial, or Residential Construction projects
