Residential Construction Management

In collaboration with the Residential Construction Council of Ontario (RESCON), the Residential Construction Management graduate certificate program is open to domestic graduates of advanced three-year diplomas in Construction Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, and Building Renovation Technology. In this program, students will broaden their existing skills for working on low-rise and high-rise residential construction projects. Students gain experience in estimating, scheduling, and controlling costs of residential construction projects, while also ensuring compliance with health and safety laws and regulations.

Through project-based coursework and hands-on labs, students will simulate on-site construction scenarios, gaining extensive exposure to the latest industry practices and procedures. This experiential approach will set you graduates to meet the demands of the field.
