Omschrijving

Building & Renovating Schools Professional Guidance for Planning, Design & Construction of School Facilities Aging school facilities, population growth, new learning approaches, and technology are among the factors behind school construction projects, whether additions, renovations, or entirely new buildings. School building committees and administrators must work effectively with design professionals and the general contractor to ensure that their projects meet the school's needs within budget and on schedule. It is crucial that these three project team members understand the steps involved in the project and one another's roles and requirements, as they work together to achieve a favorable end result.
