Training Descriptions
All training is divided into modules, with self assessments and answer keys to ensure that all content is fully understood.
The information specific to managing the project requires an understanding of the various methods for managing a project and a construction site, as this information will determine the schedule and costs of a project; the success of a project. This information differs as there will be documents created by all contractors involved in the execution and construction phases, and determines how the engineering and supply chain documentation will be managed.
Project Information Management
PIM-C-1 Construction Through the Ages
Outline: This training teaches about construction throughout the eras, showing progression of standards and management strategies so that individuals may understand why construction projects are managed the way they are today.
Objective: Demonstrate an understanding of construction history, explain building code evolution, review the evolution of construction project management, and explain the impact technology has on the construction industry.
PIM-C-2 Construction Management Defined and Project Delivery Methods
Outline: In this training, individuals will learn about the various construction project delivery methods and values, including quality, safety, and scope, design options, and construction contract administration options.
Objective: Reiterate the definition of construction management, understand the elements of construction projects, describe the roles and responsibilities of services provided by a construction management firm, explain project delivery and construction methods, and understand the differences between Agency CM and CM At-Risk.
PIM-C-3 Design and Construction Project Stages, and Project Team Composition
Outline: This training delves into the design and construction stages, compliance issues, competitive construction bids, preconstruction stages, and construction team development. Project stages include due diligence concerns, value engineering, permitting and engineering up to the final construction stage, including mobilization, and construction operations and project completion.
Objective: Understand the stages of the design and construction process, distinguish between the various project stages, differentiate between substantial completion and final completion, and explain each of the project team members’ roles.
PIM-C-4 Construction Claims, Contracts, and Project Governance
Outline: This training focuses on the documentation needed to mitigate claims and issues during construction.
Objective: Describe the significant part of a construction claim, understand differences between a baseline schedule and a progress schedule, comprehend three characteristics a claim delay has on a project, and explain project governance.
PIM-C-5 Project Information and Data Management
Outline: This training offers the outline and impacts of what project information is required, how it is gathered, and how it is used. It also includes how this information ties back into the project documentation.
Objective: Lay out the flow of project information relating to schedule, deliverables, construction information, milestones, and progress throughout the execution of a project.
