What It Means
Construction management is the study of the management and technological aspects of residential and commercial construction
projects. Construction managers apply management techniques to the planning, design and construction of a project in order to
control the time and cost to complete the project and the quality of the construction. The construction industry can use
people who possess skills and knowledge in the management, technological, economic and environmental aspects of construction
projects.
The Bachelor's Degree program in Construction Management1 offered by the ITT Technical Institutes is designed to provide a
foundation in construction management, construction techniques and legal issues relating to the construction management field.
The program can help graduates to pursue careers involving construction estimating, construction safety, construction project
management or building code compliance.
