To support you and your education, BCIT is adapting applied learning in formats appropriate to the unfolding global situation. Spring and Summer PTS classes are being delivered in an online format unless you are notified otherwise.
Course Details
Construction managers should be able to develop systems and procedures for the efficient management and maintenance of construction equipment. Managers should also be able to make economic comparisons between alternate methods of financing, recognizing the impact of economic influences and overall costs. Management of the equipment also requires consideration of cost, time and productivity records, inventory management, maintenance management and equipment standardization.
This course was retired after the Spring/Summer 2018 term and is no longer offered through BCIT Part-time Studies.
