With so many variables and people involved, the construction process can be complicated and confusing. When things go wrong, projects can cost unnecessary time and money. This two-day workshop, tailored to the unique needs of the tribal project manager, provides a comprehensive overview of the construction process, from small-scale renovations of existing facilities to new, large-scale projects.

Whether you’re building a small service unit, remodeling an existing school or developing housing units, this course will walk you through the phases of the construction process and illustrate the skills used by successful construction project managers. Class size is limited, so register early.
