CUSTOMIZED 

TRAINING

​

Construction Administration Training (CAT) has been designed to support the small contractor by bringing the obvious yet overlooked aspects of construction administration to a higher level of efficiency.  Our training modules will introduce the small contractor to the administrative requirements of commercial, public and government contracts.

 

They will also illustrate the relationships and impact of critical documents necessary to successfully execute a contract.

 

CAT will present the ideal operational model that will depict an efficient office infrastructure.  Each contractor will be offered a better understanding of bid and project documentation from compiling bid packages electronically to creating and tracking AIA payment applications.

 

Our primary goal is to educate and help facilitate the overall office efficiency of the small contractor through a deeper understanding of construction requirements coupled with the use of software and technology.
