Block 1: Building Construction Overview
Start at the beginning and learn the key considerations which drive our choices for building materials and systems.
Construction Projects are Complex
If you're not ready to take the full course, How a Building is Designed and Built, you can break it down into bite-sized chunks. This is the first block of the larger course where you'll learn the key considerations when choosing building materials and systems.
No matter which role you have in a building construction project, it is vital that you understand the "guts" of a building in order to make a positive impact. For contractors, engineers, architects, real estate developers and facilities managers, it takes years or even decades to learn the materials and systems in a building. The typical source of this education is on-the-job because this material is not taught in schools. Young professionals spend an extraordinary amount of time trying to understand the complexities of a modern building. Every project is different and the materials and systems can change drastically from one building to the next. Time can be better spent by adding value to projects instead of learning terminology and construction sequencing. The lessons in the course have been developed to boil down years of on-the-job training into high-impact, bite-sized classes.
Get Started!
The complexity of a construction project is overwhelming for everyone. Spend more time making a difference on a project, and less time learning the technical details. This course will foster rapid growth in your education and accelerate your career. See you in the course.
