CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Low-carbon, energy-efficient construction will play a critical role in meeting increasingly stringent local and national building performance goals. These projects will require an understanding of new technologies, processes, and improved coordination across disciplines. GPRO Construction Management provides practitioners with sustainability best practices and actionable strategies for every phase of construction, as well as how to avoid common mistakes.
This course is ideal for a range of construction professionals, including:
Construction Managers
General Contractors
Experienced tradespersons
Trade Forepersons
Owner’s Representatives
Project Managers and Site Superintendents
Estimators
Students and others interested in entering the building and construction industry
Participants take a one-day classroom training (in person or virtually) and then finish GPRO CM by completing three online electives that are most relevant to their work. Taught by highly knowledgeable industry professionals, participants will leave the course with practical steps to direct and manage successful, sustainable, and cost-effective projects.
Attention NYC Contractors: GPRO CM is a qualifying training program to receive the Sustainable Contractor Designation with NYC DOB!
