The single greatest challenge for Swimming Pool Contractors (SOC) to expand their business is the lack of competent and accountable Construction Managers and Superintendents.  Although helpful, being an engineer, a skilled craftsman, or having pool industry experience is helpful, it is certainly not a prerequisite to becoming a quality superintendent.  The likely candidate is trained!  

In this course, we will explore what makes a good Construction Superintendent and how they are an integral part of running a profitable business that provides quality work in a timely period with "reasonable" or greater client satisfaction of the product result.
