CNST 116 - Computer Applications for Construction

This course will focus on the software applications that today’s Construction Management professionals use. We will explore software applications that assist in every aspect of construction from Pre-Con activities through the course of construction. The students will use software applications that assist in Scheduling, Estimating, Design Team/Contractor Collaboration, Trade Coordination and Document Management. An introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM) will help students see how Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) helps today’s CM Professional coordinate and build structures quickly and more efficiently with less waste. The applications learned in this course will be crucial in subsequent course work.
