I thought it was a great intro coming from my Architecture background and looking forward to the other classes. I did think the information was occasionally repetitive but overall it had a great flow.

As I'm not a Construction Manager or Project Manager, I'm an owner for my first housing project. I've found the course to be just what I needed covering the basics ang slowly getting more in depth.

Great concise course with very good pacing. The lecture on Lean was the one I appreciated the most. The instructor was able to condense and express what he wanted to in a very efficient manner.

Few lectures like BIM, project delivery methods and modern technologies are quite advance and few like project logic, project estimation and estimating project time and cost are very basic.
