“The program gave me a fundamental understanding of how the house worked as a system”

“The program gave me a fundamental understanding of how the house worked as a system. This led me to always ask questions about why something was done this way or that, or to propose new ways of doing something. It eventually lead me to become the Chief Estimator at a renovation company, and now an Intermediate Estimator in a large home builder…. All of the instructors were paramount to my successful completion of the course. I believe that part of the success is because they all came from different construction backgrounds, so they were able to teach us the same concepts, but in different ways. This was the foundation of becoming a critical-thinking construction professional, recognizing that there is more than one solution/way of doing things.”
