Field Superintendent Courses Tailor-Made for California

Working in partnership with the California Building Industry Foundation (CBIF), the Home Builders Institute (HBI) is tailoring the training it provides through its Field Superintendent Designation series to meeting California’s unique building standards and regulations.

This is the first time that the training will be adapted to state or local regulations.

Offered under HBI’s Residential Construction Academy (RCA) to provide instruction for both new and experienced field superintendents, courses in the series are offered by local home builders associations and at major regional housing shows.

More than 900 workers have received training in the program this year.

THE CBIF, which is the educational and research arm of the California Building Industry Association, will offer two of the eight courses in the training series — “Safety and Security” and “Customer Service and Home Owner Relations” — on Oct. 1 in conjunction with the San Diego BIA.

Taught by Joe Turner, president of Joe Turner Customer Service Consulting, and Mike Sibley, president and CEO of Courage Safety Systems, the courses have been adapted to reflect California’s SB 800 and OSHA regulatory requirements.

More courses will be offered statewide next year.

On Oct. 15, two courses will be offered in conjunction with the Building Industry Association of Southern California's Building Industry Show in Anaheim — “Office and Subcontractor Relations” and “Budget Management and Cost Control.”

Bill Simon, president of Custom Design and Construction, will be teaching the courses.
