Field Superintendent Courses to Be Offered in Orlando

Part of HBI’s Residential Construction Academy, the designation provides instruction for field superintendents and site personnel. The courses are offered by local home builders associations and at major regional shows such as SEBC.

The eight courses constituting the program are: General Project Management; Planning and Scheduling; Budget and Cost Control; Customer Service and Homeowner Relations; Safety and Security; Codes and Quality Control; Hiring, Training and Supervision; and Office and Subcontractor Relations.

A number of the courses were offered for the first time at last summer’s SEBC and attracted standing-room-only attendance.

The designation originated through the efforts of Ron Coppenbarger, the president of the Florida Home Builders Association in 2000-2001 and an HBI trustee; Vero Beach builder Ray Puzzitiello and members of the Gold Coast Builders Association.

So far, 10 program participants have qualified for the Residential Construction Superintendent designation in Michigan, Florida and Georgia.

HBAs that are interested in offering the designation courses to their employer members or seeking more information about the program, should e-mail Steve Kramer or call him at 800-795-7955 x8925.
