What: Fundamentals of Pre-Construction and Project Management is a deep dive into the fundamentals of good pre-construction and project management practice. This 7-session online course will cover essential tasks during pre-construction, estimating, scheduling, and project management tasks during the construction process. The course includes hands-on exercises, tools, and templates to support emerging project managers and estimators.

Who: This course is designed for emerging project managers and estimators who are new to their role or are looking to improve their internal systems.

Why: Successful residential construction projects require good estimating and project management skills. Many people who become project managers and estimators have not been taught these business skills. Developing these skills, along with well-defined roles and responsibilities, can create a more resilient construction company.
