Description
Students in this course will be putting to use what they have learned in prerequisite courses. Safety will be a top priority and students will enhance their understanding of the construction process and industry through constructing a home themselves. Their education will be supplemented by industry professionals who will demonstrate how to frame, insulate, sheetrock, plumb, wire, paint, finish, and landscape a home. They will meet with city and county inspectors, OSHA inspectors, Clean Water Services inspectors, land developers, and real estate agents to enhance their understanding of the many aspects that go into the industry of home construction. Another aspect of this advanced course is that students will gain firsthand knowledge of the skills required to be a construction manager.
