Reviews

"I recently began my professional career working in the construction industry. Managing different scopes of work can be very challenging to someone with little to no experience, however, these courses helped me create a solid foundation towards understanding the scopes I manage daily on the job site. The terminology which I learned in these courses has been immensely helpful for my job. Watching the lessons made me more confident in my work! This is perhaps the best "one-stop-shop" for better understanding how buildings are designed and constructed!" - Rick Zani, Field Engineer, Mortenson Construction

"Coming from a different industry, this course allowed me to accelerate my understanding of common construction materials, methods and sequencing. The course provided a base vocabulary, so I can feel confident when speaking to my co-workers or trade partners about a project." - Emma Coss, Estimating Coordinator, Adolfson & Peterson Construction

"I have been designing and constructing a set of self storage buildings for my family-owned business. I ran into several delays and wish that I found this course about a year ago. I look forward to learning more to help finish my current project and make future projects go better." - Stephen Porter, Project Developer, Houston TX"

"How a Building is Designed and Built by MMI, LLC provided me the foundational construction knowledge I was missing to feel 100% comfortable working in this field. Coming into a construction management role from the design side of our business, I felt comfortable managing projects from an administrative standpoint effectively, however, because I work in the office, I was struggling, despite my best efforts, to gain a practical understanding of exactly how a building gets built, and the different systems that interact together to make up the entire structure. I knew I needed to gain a working knowledge of key systems, equipment, and basic concepts behind the various phases of a building. This is exactly the role that this course played. I learned fundamental concepts, terminology, and general know-how about the basics of construction, and left it feeling I have a firm grasp of what I would learn with years of hands-on field work. Furthermore, I am a visual learner, and the animations and diagrams utilized during Matt's lectures helped solidify important concepts clearly and easily. I believe this course is an invaluable resource to anyone in their first few years working in construction, or as a refresher for someone working in the office. Thank you Matt!" - Audrey Eichler, Project/Field Engineer, Adolfson & Peterson Construction

"Very motivating, leaves you wanting more. Easy to understand and very detailed." - Boniface Uduhirinwa

"I just finished your course. It was an amazing course and articulated in a very digestible manner. Thank you! This course will definitely accelerate my career." - Jimmy Vu, VP Stonewall Associates, Navy SEAL
