For the 37th consecutive year, the Construction Specifications Institute–Willamette Valley Chapter (CSI-WVC) is
pleased to offer a series of classes on Construction Contract Documents in
addition to another set covering Construction Contract Administration.
While the principal purpose of the courses is to assist those planning to take
one or more of the CSI-sponsored certification examinations, they’re also
beneficial to anyone in the AEC industry seeking foundational training in the
preparation and use of construction documents. Additionally, the classes can be
of significant value to architectural interns and to the firms for whom they
work, as well as very helpful to those preparing to take the State
Architectural Licensing Exams.
The evening classes begin in
early January 2019 and continue weekly through the first part of March.

Construction Contract Documents (CDT) Classes:
Construction Contract Administration (CCA) Classes: https://app.box.com/s/xf9sa4zrzgopmses7xgev3qeunx4uwkj
The venue for both courses will
be the Eugene Builders
Exchange, located at 2460 West 11th Avenue in Eugene.
Both
courses can help students develop a conceptual understanding of the entire
construction process, and concrete skills in:
- Construction documentation development and administration
- Specification writing and enforcement
- Product research and sourcing
- Communication with the design and contracting teams
As
mentioned above, both classes serve as excellent means to prepare for CSI’s
certification exams. Certification as a Construction Documents Technologist (CDT)
means you have demonstrated ability to prepare, use, and interpret construction
documents. CDT certification is a prerequisite to CSI’s advanced
certifications, which include Certified Construction Specifier (CCS),
Certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA), and Certified
Construction Product Representative (CCPR).
CSI
offers its certification examinations twice annually, in the spring and the
fall. Taking the 2019 Willamette Valley Chapters classes this winter would set
you up nicely to register for the spring set of exams.
The classes are especially
beneficial for emerging design & construction industry professionals, and
to the firms for which they work. They’re also particularly helpful to aspiring
architects preparing to take a State Licensing Exam.
By taking either of the classes,
fully fledged architects can earn up to 16 Continuing Professional Education
(CPE) hours to apply toward maintaining Oregon State Board of Architect
Examiners professional licensure; AIA Members can earn up 16 Continuing Education
Learning Units (LU) which CSI will report directly to AIA/CES.
Hundreds of local AEC
professionals have already benefitted immeasurably by taking one or both CSI
certification classes. Do the same and you’ll learn about the importance of
clear, concise, correct, and complete construction documents, and more fully
understand how projects unfold from conception to delivery. Best of all, you’ll
advance your career prospects and become a highly valued member of any project
team.
