In the competitive world of construction, maximizing productivity and effectively managing project costs are essential for success. The Productivity and Project Costs (STP 5) unit in AGC’s Supervisory Training Program, 10th edition provides you with the tools and techniques to monitor, manage and optimize these critical aspects of your projects. The highly collaborative virtual program provides instruction via Zoom and is best suited for anyone on a construction jobsite in a supervisory role – from the new supervisor or foreman to the experienced superintendent who is looking to become a more effective manager of people, time, equipment and materials.
Tracking Productivity: Learn how to systematically track productivity on your construction site. Understand the key performance indicators (KPIs) that matter and how to use them to gauge efficiency and performance.
Managing Project Costs: Discover strategies for accurate cost estimation, budgeting, and cost control. Learn how to monitor expenses in real-time and make data-driven decisions to keep your projects on budget.
Data-Driven Decisions: Gain insights into how tracking productivity and costs can enhance not only current project success but also provide valuable data for future projects. Use historical data to predict challenges and create more accurate project plans.
This course is 1 of 6 units in the newly updated Supervisory Training Program (STP); a construction-specific training curriculum developed, updated and field-tested by and for contractors. Supervisory skill—or the lack of it—directly affects every company’s bottom line. You make your money in the field, and STP can help you improve your organization’s bottom line.
After completing the course, students receive a Certificate of Completion and a digital badge to share.
