Greetings to you Tom and your wife from Greece. It is truly a cyclical trade. Some years ago i could not see a cement mixer truck on the roads. Now things got better, even a 8billion mix -use residential park is about to begin.
Wonderful that at 17 you are working on learning for yourself. Keep that up over days, months and years and you will be shocked how much it will have helped you by the time you are 27. But don’t stop there keep going.
Hey TOM... I have fallen in love with construction management just because of you. Thanks for giving me my life love. I'm from Pakistan i will graduate on 20th of July exactly after 5 days in civil engineering. What are the skills that i need to enter into construction managemer world? I KNOW a lot of skills are needed to be learned.I'm asking what should be entry point? Currently i only knew thretoical things like beams and columns, etc. You are doing a great work by transferring your valuable knowledge to future of construction world...
Thank you Mr. Stephenson for your effort .. very comprehensive and helpful, i'm doing my sr. design project now and your lecture help retain and learn necessary information .. Thank you, really!
Hey. I’m looking into construction management. I’ve been a welder for about two years. Didn’t like just being a worker but I love construction. Decided to go back to school to pursue a degree in construction management
Oh where are you taking the degree? You will be able to always leverage what you learned as a welder as trades thing a certain way that is beneficial for getting things done when managing a construction project
Hey Prof Stephenson! Thank you so much for the lecture series. One small request: could you share some resources about the shoring system you have mentioned at 25:00 I googled for a while and read up on the column mounted shoring systems, i want to learn more. It really piqued my curiosity since I have never seen such a thing, although google says they have been around since the 70's 😂 if you have some keywords that I should research off the top of your head that would be perfect! Thank you so much!

Hello Tom, thank you for the info. I’m currently looking in to a career in construction management. About me, I have a BA in Criminal Justice. But that’s not why I’m interested in it. I’m a journeyman union pipefitter, welder, plumber, and hvac tech. I did a five year apprenticeship and am looking for more education to grow my way into a management position. Any info would greatly appreciated.
Hi Cameron, You may want to check this 2 videos where I go over Certifications and Designations that are available in the construction industry.

Hi Tom. Your lectures are always inspiring and helpfulI wanted to connect with you for some advice and suggestions on providing services in the construction industry. Let me know how I can connect.
Interesting video. I watched the whole thing. I have question ,though. If I want to build a house on a 10 acre property, I obviously want to build it as central as possible without building atop a flood plain. Who can do this work for me, I mean, giving me an idea of where to build? Who do I contact about clearing that land after we've figured that out?
Hi Coahuil, You could go several ways, an architect or architectural technologist that specializes in house design, they can recommend a good builder in your area or a design build contractor that designs and constructs the home based on your inputs. If it is a design build contractor arrange that once the design is complete you can also get pricing on the cost of building from others to compare.

Sir please between a construction manager and a general contractor which position offers a better profit in an ideal workspace?
It would take a while to define as it depends on a lot of factors. In short a GC as they typically take a lot more risk if it is lump sum. A CM risk is dependent on type of CM contract, so rewards are less but risk is less to which can often advantageous. This would make a good video to unpack. Thanks for the question
