Remote Virtual Project Management: Managing Quality in Construction Projects using BIM

The PMI Great Lakes Chapter is hosting its 2nd Construction Community Event on June 30th, 2020 virtually on the Zoom Platform for free, complementary to our members and the construction community.

Following the first successful event held on November 19th, the participants encouraged the continuation of these collaborative meetings with one common theme: Quality Excellence!

The PMIGLC Construction Corporate Outreach is focused on providing information on applying the PMBoK Framework to improve the Construction Project Management Profession and how all construction-related organizations and companies would benefit from hiring PMPs that are passionate about their profession as they advocate the PMI-philosophy for quality excellence.

Participants of our events don’t have to be PMI or PMIGLC members and they included professionals from Architectural, Engineering, Self-Performing & General Contracting, Suppliers, Business Consulting & Law Practitioners, University Educators and Enthusiasts in different roles as managers of Owners, Architects, Contractors, Independent Testing Agents, and sub-consultants and subcontractors. PMI members will receive 1.0 PDU for attending the event.
