Construction 101 was a perfect “Coles Notes” summary of the ins and outs of the world of construction contracts, construction laws and project management. Informative and early to follow, understand and utilize.

Construction 101 is awesome for any admin people entering into the construction industry. I have been in this industry for a year and five months and have found this course very useful. It’s actually great for all experience levels for everyone in the construction trade.

“It’s definitely an opportunity for networking with other consultants and contractors, and an opportunity to learn the pitfalls and strengths of where the industry is going. SICA provides great educational opportunities to all of its partners. It is a place that we can meet and have dialogue with others—what’s working, what’s not working—which in the construction industry is important.”

Adam and I thoroughly enjoyed the CCO Workshop. The theme of collaboration with the owner, consultant, and contractor groups was a great idea and is key to successful projects in our industry. We were very impressed with how well it was coordinated and the high level of industry representation.

“I feel it is beneficial to become SICA members for the networking opportunity. It provides a real avenue for owners to get into the trenches with the consultants and contractors to see what it is they really want or require to execute projects effectively. A lot of time we work together but really work apart. Being part of SICA gives us, as owners, the chance to talk openly on what works and what doesn't.”

“I believe there is value in jointly understanding the concerns of both owners of construction buildings and vendors of construction services. This mutual awareness and the subsequent benefit is readily achieved in an organization like SICA where sub-contractors, contractors, suppliers, consultants, and owners regularly meet to discuss business practices.”

"I was pleasantly surprised with the Speed Networking Event put on by SICA. It was such an easy way to meet new people in the industry, and was also a great way to match some faces to the familiar names I frequently deal with. I would definitely recommend this event to anyone wanting to expand and strengthen their business contact base."
