Join Jim Rogers for an in-depth discussion in this video How do I become a construction manager?, part of Construction Management Foundations.
- By virtually any measure, the construction industry…is the single largest industry in the world.…As we said at the beginning of this course,…it's responsible for completing the work…being done to develop the surface of the earth…to meet our needs and the needs of our society.…As long as those needs continue to change and evolve,…the industry will continue to grow…and the demand for educated construction managers…will continue to increase.…Today's construction management professional…has to work to stay up on the latest trends…and developments in the industry.…
So, with that in mind,…we'll definitely be doing our part…to continue to publish courses here…that'll help you do just that.…We've already tackled some of the changes in the industry…related to technology…and you can find courses here in the online library…related to things…like managing digital construction drawings…using software like Bluebeam…or creating building information models…with software like Revit or Navisworks…and you can learn how to manage your scheduling tasks…
