PHCC Essentials of Project Management Class Wraps Up

“Use the Tools You Have” was a theme of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association Educational Foundation’s popular Essentials of Project Management class. Twenty-two attendees engaged in the highly interactive and intense four-day class conducted March 13-16. The event was held at the Viega Training Facility in Nashua, New Hampshire, with lead instruction from Purdue University Professor Emeritus Kirk Alter.

During class, the attendees were tasked one evening with using spreadsheets to analyze the status of a construction project just from a single monthly work in progress report. The following morning, Alter guided attendees through how they could pull an incredible amount of detail out of the software about cash flow, profitability, the competence of management on the project, the relationship with the customer, areas of strength and exactly where things went wrong.

Viega sponsored and hosted the project management class at their New Hampshire Training Facility, providing the training room, A/V, meals for the attendees and more.

The foundation will be conducting a two-day Creating Super Foremen workshop at Viega’s Training Facility May 3-4, with Kirk Alter again providing instruction.
