A Key Way to Build Stronger Construction Careers
NAHB’s refreshed Residential Construction Industry Fundamentals course (formerly Basics of Building) provides a crucial opportunity for those who work in construction-related fields to expand their knowledge — and their profits.
The on-demand, self-paced course will give industry professionals the tools they need to build stronger and more profitable relationships with builders and remodelers in their network.
“This course equips members with the essential knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to excel in construction, ensuring they are well-prepared to contribute positively to projects and advance their careers in the field,” said Tim Lansford, who authored the class.
Lansford also serves as president and owner of Luxury Homes of Texas, a custom home building and remodeling company.
Graduates of the course will be able to identify trends, product types and key stakeholders in the residential construction industry, as well as articulate the complexities of land acquisition and development, and outline types of financial tools available to support building and remodeling projects.
Participants can earn six hours of continuing education credit.
