Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining PC Director of Preconstruction Kurt Naser to present at a lunch and learn for Utica University’s Construction Management students. Over the course of the session, we outlined the entire preconstruction process, from the request for proposal straight through notice to proceed. The students were actively engaged and had a particular interest in the specific detail associated with collaborative delivery proposals and how we win work outside of our systematic estimating approach.
As a Utica University alum (‘20) and a member of their Construction Management Advisory Committee, it always excites me to get back on campus and give back to a program that gave so much to me. And I know from first-hand experience how incredibly important these real-world learning opportunities are for students who are building their foundation of construction knowledge.
