It’s time for Constructors.
For 50 years, the American Institute of Constructors (AIC) has accelerated constructor excellence through rigorous certification programs.

“AIC exams are good for the employee. It brings credibility to them as a worker in construction. Also, owners have additional assurance that these individuals have the expertise to manage their projects. Upper management can also view a snapshot of their employees to see where they stand in their overall knowledge in construction management.”
