Modern handiwork
Anyone who has ever had a Lego® set – child or adult – knows that building something with your own hands is as thrilling as taking the glass elevator to the top of Detroit’s Renaissance Center.
And it gets even better in the real world! Where you share in the experience with a likeminded team of tradespeople: surveyors, architects, bricklayers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and the list goes on.
Then seeing the landscape or skyline forever changed by your teams’ handiwork.
But the great thing about construction management is that there’s always another project just around the corner that promises to be as thrilling as the last.
