The 2020 editions of the Construction
Specifications Institute-Willamette Valley Chapter certification classes are
rapidly approaching. As I described previously, 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.
As the saying
goes, knowledge is power. Knowledge provides a competitive edge. Architecture
and construction are increasingly dependent upon the effective conveyance of
design intent. They are likewise dependent upon the clear definition of project
responsibilities and roles detailed by the forms of agreement most widely used in
construction projects. It’s important and necessary for everyone—owners,
architects, engineers, specifiers, general contractors, subcontractors,
construction materials suppliers, and others—to understand project delivery
options, standard forms of agreement, means for organizing drawings and
specifications, etc.
Knowledgeable
employers highly value those who understand the language of construction, its
underlying principles and terminology, and the critical relationships between
all the participants in any design and construction undertaking. Employees who
thoroughly understand this language not only survive but are more likely to
thrive. They are the winners in today’s challenging and constantly changing
environment.
So, if you haven’t already done so,
sign up now for either the Construction Documents or the Construction Contract
Administration series of classes, both of which start in January. The deadline
for the discounted early bird registration fees is this Friday, so act fast to
lock in those savings!
