Learn the critical steps for completing a construction project, including fire protection systems, building commissioning, and the final stages of testing, turnover, and occupancy requirements.
In this series of Construction Project Management Fundamentals courses, you will learn how a building is put together -- from the ground up.
In this, our last of the six courses, you will learn about wet-pipe fire suppression system, dry-pipe fire suppression system, the purpose and components of a fire alarm system, fire alarm inputs, controls and outputs, typical life-safety requirements, elevator types and construction sequencing, final MEP system activities, and the purpose of commissioning.
You will also learn valuable information about the purpose of a punchlist and the punchlist process, typical requirements for a certificate of occupancy, typical requirements for final completion, and the process to turnover a building and the requirements for post-occupancy.
In all of these Construction Project Management Fundamentals courses, you will learn about the sequence of construction and the relationships between all the different construction activities on site.
You will learn how a building is put together and how people work together to successfully complete a construction project.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.

This coursework was incredible! As a Superintendent in training the lists of items for closeout, turn over, and final completion were extremely helpful when talking to a NYC DOB inspector. Thank you so much!

This training will definitely help my career. I was able to show my supervisor and co-workers what Revit has to offer and what I'm capable of when the time comes for creating that BIM Team in the future. I was able to provide documentation to my employer that the money spent was well worth it and the training I received at VDCI will become an asset moving forward.

Learn many details about fire suppression systems, life-safety requirements, installing elevators, building commissioning, certificate of occupancy and project closeout. This course uses Revit tools to design and create a fire suppression system in a real-world educational facility. By the end of this course, students will create a coordinated model of a fire sprinkler system within the building. Students will master the tools Revit has for MEP and will develop workflows that are consistent across disciplines within the industry. Finally, students will convert their 3D model into a set of construction sheets to illustrate their design on a two-dimensional set of plans.
Gain the knowledge and skills necessary to manage the interior and finish work of construction projects. Learn about wall types, drywall finishes, and the construction sequencing involved in interiors, asphalt paving, and landscaping.
