About the Event

Learn the ins and outs of a new build. In this 5-month course taught by John Ford and Jeff Hughes, you will learn important skills needed to manage your own new build, including project management, budgeting, necessary insurances, and many more! You will be provided a binder and handouts corresponding to each class’s topic. You'll have 10 site visits (2 per mo) at a new-build development in Durham, NC.

There will be two class groups occuring at the same time, with different start dates. If you miss a class in one group, you can "catch up" by attending the class in the other group.
