This course covers developing realistic and conservative budgets, navigating procurement, and fostering strong collaboration with contractors through clear communication and regular progress meetings. Participants will learn to proactively manage on-site activity, minimize and avoid change orders, and handle common challenges such as mitigation and abatement, environmental issues, and supply chain disruptions.
