NAHB Project Management

Description

Essential Skills for Residential Construction Leaders
A project manager’s core responsibility is to deliver projects on time, on budget, and with a satisfied client. To meet that challenge, residential construction managers must master planning, execution, and team coordination from start to finish.
This course is designed for home building professionals seeking to strengthen their leadership and project management skills. Participants will explore key responsibilities across all phases of construction—pre-construction, construction, and post-construction—with a focus on practical tools and trade contractor management.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the full project life cycle and the foundations of successful project management
• Plan and schedule effectively during the pre-construction phase
• Apply project management tools to stay organized and efficient
• Lead and manage trade contractors with clarity and accountability
• Oversee execution and quality during the construction phase
• Fulfill key responsibilities after project completion

Who Should Attend
Ideal for business owners, project managers, superintendents, remodelers, sales managers, and anyone involved in residential pre-construction or construction—especially small-volume, custom, and semi-custom home builders.
