The Airport Consultants Council (ACC) held a Construction Administration and Observation Course on April 12 & 13 in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina.

Approximately 70 participants learned why construction administration and observation services are a crucial investment for successful airport project completion. The 2-day course provided an in-depth understanding of the purpose, objectives, and accepted methods associated with construction and administration projects.

Participants also gained an increased understanding of projects using FAA AIP and PFC funds and understand how airport sponsors of FAA grant projects should administer and observe their projects in order to follow applicable rules and regulations. The course provided detailed presentations, interactive class exercises, and facilitated roundtable discussions.
