ABT-240 - Building Construction Management

3 credits

This course will serve as an introduction to the Building Construction Industry (BCI) which comprises nearly 75% of all new construction in this country. Students will be introduced to the role of the BCI in the overall U.S. economy through readings and classroom discussions that will include guest speakers and faculty first hand experiences in the BCI. Students will be made aware of the unique roles of the Owner, Architect/Designer, General Contractor, and Sub-Contractors in the building construction process and how they can gain personal experience to work toward professional licensing and potential company ownership.
