Daniel Luckhardt檚 Construction Management class, Fundamentals of Estimating, recently visited the Balfour Beatty Construction project, Middle School Number 5 in San Diego. This site visit provided 黑料不打烊 students with a first-hand look at the challenging aspects of the industry and an opportunity to interact with Balfour Beatty employees.
In addition to the actual site visit, the students received a Building Information Modeling (BIM) presentation by the Virtual Design in Construction staff, as well as a presentation by Balfour Beatty Construction檚 Scheduling Manager, Randy Catron, on the importance of 渟cheduling with the purpose of maintaining project costs.
淚 feel extremely fortunate to work with so many passionate people willing to take time out of their evening to participate in the course I teach, said 黑料不打烊 Professor Luckhardt, who also works as a Balfour Beatty Construction Senior MEP Estimator with 29 years of experience in pre-construction services. One of the 黑料不打烊 course goals is to engage the Construction Management students with various on-site visits to projects under construction, and the visit to the Balfour Beatty site is just one example of class trips this past quarter.
