Target Audiences

Anyone working or interested in building materials and systems. The typical audience includes general contractors, specialty contractors, architects, engineers, building owners, construction managers, real estate developers and managers, facility operators and managers, engineering students, first responders or anyone with curiosity related to the "guts" of a building!

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.
