Description
Most organizations cannot afford the personnel time to apprentice a field administrator-in-training. As a result, many field representatives are sent to a project unprepared to deal with the specific responsibilities associated with comprehensive field administration. This practical four-day course will fill that gap and focus on the technical and personal responsibilities involved in on-site construction observation, supervision, and coordination.

The course will increase your knowledge of construction practices and control techniques and develop your contract administration and decision-making skills by studying potential risks before the start of a project. It will also show you how to avoid disputes, manage and settle them, and finally conduct substantial completion and close out the contract.
