1. The Professional Certificate in
International & Construction
Contract Management (PACT)
Introduction:
PACT is an old English word has the meaning of Contract, Deed, Deal, Treaty, Agreement, etc...
Contract administration involves making decisions and the timely flow of information and
decisions to enable completion of the project as required by the contract documents including
review and observation of the construction project.
This is important to the Owner and Consultant not only to determine that the work is proceeding
in conformity with the contract documents, but also because it allows a final opportunity to detect
any inaccuracies, ambiguities or inconsistencies in the design.
Objectives :
The objective of the PACT program is to improve construction contractmanagement by providing
education related to the management and enforcement of contractrequirements duringthe
construction phaseof the project.
Who should attend :
The PACT Program is designed for those individualsinvolved in construction administration,including
Contract Administrators,Property Managers,Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers,Specification
Consultants,BuildingAuthorities,and Bondingand InsuranceAgencies.

The Specialized Diploma in
Construction & Site Management (SITE)
Introduction:
Construction site management involves managing construction projects, such as buildings,
bridges, roads or industrial facilities.
Construction managers must oversee a variety of resources, including labor, equipment, materials
and capital. They are responsible for budgets, hiring, contracts, schedules, and safety compliance.
They must also deal with numerous governmental regulations, as well as interfacing/coordinating
with other professionals connected to the project such as workers, contractors, architects,
subcontractors, developers, engineers and more.
Objectives :
Construction management programs prepare students for careers as construction supervisors,
project managers and independent contractors, among others.

managers was expectedto increase by 16% from 2012-2022, which is faster than average
(www.bls.gov). In May 2012, construction managers earned an average annual salary of $90,960 as
noted by the BLS.
