About This Course

Construction projects pass through temporary states that can create load paths, support conditions, stability demands, and field risks that do not exist in the finished structure. This 4-CEH course develops a practical construction-engineering framework for recognizing those conditions and defining the technical responsibility needed to manage them.

Learners examine permanent-design responsibility versus contractor means and methods; construction sequencing and intermediate load paths; formwork, shoring, reshoring, falsework, scaffolds, excavation support and bracing; lifting and erection stability; demolition sequence; RFIs, substitutions and field changes; delegated design; failure precursors; hold points; verification; monitoring; and communication controls.

The course concludes with a 10-question multiple-choice final examination. A score of 70% is required to pass, and retakes are permitted until passed.
