Construction 101 in Canada is a collaborative initiative between the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) and their partner construction associations across Canada.

Construction 102 in Canada supplements the essential two-day Construction 101 in Canada course. Designed for those working in a construction office, consulting office, project owner/developer office, on-site field office or providing support services in both the construction and design sectors who may be new or recently introduced to industrial, commercial, institutional and civil construction (ICI+C) in Canada.

Building on Construction 101 in Canada, Construction 102 introduces the attendee to a deeper understanding of two critical and fundamental themes and industry best practices.

1. Advanced Procurement;
2. Advanced contract administration, and standardized contract terms and conditions

A third theme is presented to attendees to discuss and contemplate current trends, future trends and tools available and deployed today in the Canadian construction industry; specifically, the industrial, commercial, and institutional sectors.

Construction 102 in Canada Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are as follows:

• Advance a fundamental understanding of procurement principles that apply to bidding and tendering and requests for proposals (RFP’s);
• Advance learning about traditional contemplations of construction contract terms and conditions used in industrial, commercial, institutional and civil construction in Canada;
• Advance learning of contract administration processes, including change management, progress billing and project closeout, including Ready-for-Takeover.
• Discussion and contemplation of emerging trends, technology in use today and tomorrow, their impacts and potential.

Recommended For:

Individuals working in or moving into management, coordination, administration, or consulting roles within the ICI and Civil construction industry.
