Charles Dalton Parker
Introduction to construction organization, building systems and construction materials. Emphasis on the building process including codes, zoning, material standards, standard practice, and sustainability.
Study of the systems and materials that comprise standard mechanical and electrical systems in structures. Introduction into related code organizations, standards, terminology, and basic design calculations. Discussion of how electrical, plumbing, and heating/cooling/ventilating systems are integrated within a structure.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : CSAS 125, CSAS 211.
Types and interpretation of construction documents, plans, specifications, and schedules of materials, and considerations of document control; introduction to construction estimating, including types of estimates, their uses, quantity takeoffs, costs of work, overhead, submitting the bid, application of spreadsheets for basic estimating.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : CSAS 125, CSAS 211.
(RE) Corequisite(s): Accounting 200.
Advanced estimation techniques and procedures associated with commercial construction. Analysis of costs developed from detailed construction systems leading to the preparation of bid proposals. Emphasis will be placed on estimating using commercially available computer software.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : Letter grade of C or better in CSAS 335.
Introduction to construction field operations and project organization. Integrates project management with field supervision, emphasizing the requirements normally associated with on-site commercial construction activities. Special attention will be given in areas of stakeholders, recordkeeping, mobilization, closeout, equipment, communication, and safety compliance. Additional considerations for energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable buildings, development practices, and the construction process.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : CSAS 335.
Other Instructors: Smith, Angela
Construction finance and cost accounting, industry formats, fixed and variable costs, record and report practices; capital equipment, depreciation, and expensing; forecasting costs and cash flow requirements, payment processes and time value of money, surety bonds and insurance; construction law, construction contracts, legal roles and responsibilities, the regulatory environment and licensing, lien laws and the contractor’s rights, national and local labor law, administrative procedures to avoid disputes.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : ACCT 200.
Comment(s): Graduate standing may satisfy prerequisites.
Other Instructors: Clayton, William Francis | Smith, Angela
Current issues and problems in construction and agricultural systems and related fields.
Senior level course which results in a culminating experience where a student integrates information and derives skills from courses in the construction science curriculum. Students are exposed to real-life aspects of a construction enterprise and will generate a strategic construction business plan. This course emphasizes professional written and oral communication skills in the submission of the end project.
