Building Construction Technology (Construction Management) (2234)
The mission of the Building Construction Technology program is to enable graduates to achieve their maximum potential in the
building construction field. This includes providing and maintaining a strong, active relationship with the construction
industry in Northeast Florida through graduates, industry advisory committees, internships and mutual support. This
program’s purpose is to prepare the construction management student with skilled craftsmanship, management skills and
leadership responsibilities in a technologically oriented, diverse, dynamic and global construction environment.
Completing this program will qualify you for entry-level jobs in residential or commercial construction.
You will be able to assist architects, builders, professional engineers and contractors in planning, inspecting and
supervising construction projects. You will also learn basic cost estimating/ scheduling, a necessity for an entry level
management position in construction materials and equipment as well as managing a project. All courses connect to more
advanced or specialized training later and open doors to opportunities in other areas of construction. For more information

Florida’s growth is soaring. Jacksonville is a boomtown. And much of the city and state are being built by graduates
of our construction programs. The employment rate in all trades is 100%. No Florida Community College student who wants a
job goes without a job.
In this program, you’ll have the opportunity to network with major contractors and become employed while you’re still in school. We also refer you for internships and job interviews. Florida Community College’s Building Construction program has a long-standing relationship with
this region’s major industry organizations, such as Woods Engineering, C. Young Construction, Superior Construction,
Paul Fraser Homes, Stellar Group, C & C Powerlines, Dickey Smith & Company, Miatt Construction and Accubuild
Construction.
Members of the Northeast Florida Builders Association serve on our Construction Management Advisory Council
and on advisory committees for all trades, as well as provide internships and fund annual scholarships. The advisory
committees provide leadership, support and guidance for the program and support such educational activities as constructing
residential projects from design to move in.
Starting salaries range from $16 to $20 an hour. Overtime, bonuses, rapid advancement and opportunities for
self-employment can rapidly increase your income.
