Program Overview
The Construction Management and Inspection program of study focuses on occupational and educational opportunities associated with producing cost estimates for construction projects to support bidding on or determining the price of products or services. The program of study includes inspecting structures using engineering skills to determine structural soundness and compliance with specifications, building codes, and other regulations.

Skills Needed & Taught:
Teamwork, reliability, communication, blueprint reading, basic tool knowledge, safety protocols, math skills, and problem-solving

Construction CTE consists of students working independently and as a team to fabricate, plan, and build a structure assigned by the teacher. When working solo, students learn how to manage a project from start to finish on their own. When students are placed in groups, one student is assigned as project manager and is responsible for the success of the group. Groups and leaders change each project. This allows students to get hands-on experience with real-world, work site conditions.
