It covers the methods and procedures used in
budgeting, procuring, and controlling the cost of
commercial construction projects, as well as
forecasting, monitoring, and appraising project
cost performance through the use of manual and
computer techniques. CM needs to apply
methods of controlling and projecting material,
labor, and equipment costs in order to identify
problem areas during construction and take the
necessary steps to avoid financial losses.

This Area addresses construction project management
components from the contractor's perspective,
with an emphasis on publicly owned projects. You
examine all facets of project management tools on
jobsite and the expected roles of the site
management team (project managers, project/field
engineers and superintendents) as well as all
aspects of a typical, large-sized project from
project planning to closeout. CM needs
management skills and techniques to effectively
manage construction jobsite projects..

26. Job Site Management

27. Construction Management MS Project
It presents the software programs used to manage
and control construction projects. Instruction
features hands-on training in the use of Microsoft
Project 2010 Professional software to conduct
multiple tasks such as preparing construction
schedules which include definitions of detailed
activities and assignments of logic relationships;
defining and managing costs and resources (labor,
equipment, and materials); sorting and
categorizing information; preparing monthly
updates of schedules; reviewing, analyzing, and
troubleshooting schedules; developing, analyzing,
and presenting delay issues; and producing
reports and graphics

An introduction to the reading and analysis of
construction blueprints. Topics include a review of
the necessary mathematics, symbols and drawn
line interpretations, dimensioning, a survey of
specifications, plot plans, foundations, framing,
plumbing, HVAC, electrical and masonry plans.
CM will works with small groups to resolve typical
problems encountered by the working professional
today, such as errors, omissions, and code non-
compliance. As it is common in today's
construction industry, participants change groups
continually.

30. Reading Construction Blueprints

31. Electrical Design and Construction
As a specialty trade in the construction industry, electrical
systems can be complex and confusing to the non-expert.
CM will know the essentials of electrical systems for
commercial construction with an overview of fundamentals,
construction procedures, electrical equipment, electrical
design, and regulatory requirements. Instruction emphasizes
the integration of electrical systems with project site
development and related construction trades. CM will need
to know the current requirements of the California Electrical
Code and other building and construction regulations as well
as applicability to green building design and sustainability
development. Topics also include Electrical plan reading,
single-line diagram design, panel schedule design, and load
calculations

33. The Solar Energy Solution: Harnessing Solar
Power in the Home and Office
Area about how to augment your home and/or business power requirements with solar energy.
CM will know a general overview of the knowledge needed to choose and ultimately
design an appropriate system. CM will know the various forms of solar energy with a
specific emphasis on solar electricity (i.e., how electricity can be generated, stored and
utilized in the home and workplace through solar energy). In addition, Solar Areas
covers typical solar system models in order to understand how the prerequisite
subsystems and their associated components are integrated into a final conceptual
working system. CM need to know how to calculate anticipated electrical load
requirements and the system sizing required to meet these objectives. Additional topics
include: proper installation techniques, methods of monitoring systems performance,
and the maintenance procedures required to assure maximum system efficiency. CM
should be interested in and concerned about the financial, environmental, and self-
sufficient aspects of solar energy. A basic electrical/mechanical educational
background is helpful due to the technology. Home and business owners, contractors,
sales people, entrepreneurs seeking business opportunities, and those who have a
keen interest in solar technology significantly benefit from this Area.

Power in the Home and Office

35. Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design {LEED}
Green buildings embody a design intent on balancing
environmental responsiveness and responsibility,
resource efficiency and cultural and community sensitivity.
CM need to know LEED® version 3 Rating System,
currently the centerpiece of the most innovative, effective
aspects of green design. Topics range from an exploration
of what are sustainable principles, current sustainable
design and building practices, to specific elements of the
LEED® rating system. CM needs to be hands-on in their
role in the design and construction of a green building, as
well as anyone with a curiosity and burning interest in
understanding the basic nuances of green building.

36. Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design {LEED}

37. Introduction to Building Information
Modeling (BIM)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) focuses on Autodesk's Revit
Architecture as a platform for learning key principles in the application of
digital media in the design and documentation of building elements within a
parametric environment.
Fundamental training is provided so CM can progress to more advanced
subject matter in design computation and its application in the construction
industry. Through a series of lectures and exercises, basic BIM concepts
that apply to all parametrically driven CAD systems are explored.

designated vacant land can be transformed into fully developed, single family residential
subdivisions.
The Topic examines how to turn physical and regulatory land development constraints
into opportunities for creative project development, how to exceed homebuyer demands,
and how to ensure your residential development makes a valuable, lasting contribution to
the community--and meets your profit expectations.
It Helps you as a professional construction manager who has worked as both a city
planner and as a residential developer, topics include target market analysis, site
