Education : Earn Credits
Premier Precast is certified by the Construction Industry Licensing Board of the State of Florida, the American Institute of Architects, and the Landscape Architecture Continuing Education System to provide educational seminars and issue continuing education credits. The courses we provide are designed to educate architects, landscape architects, general contractors, estimators, project managers and project superintendents on the practical design, manufacturing and installation considerations for architectural stone masonry products.
Throughout the world, buildings are designed and constructed to be unique edifices through the procurement and installation of architectural stone masonry products. Very often, these designs, while beautiful, are at odds with project budgets. As a result, the architectural stone scopes of work go through a rigorous value engineering process to make procurement, manufacturing and installation costs more attainable. Our education programs are designed to provide a working knowledge of architectural stone masonry products so that you can provide greater value to your customer when discussing design and cost-effective alternatives. Your knowledge and expertise in architectural stone masonry products might be the difference in your company being awarded its next project!
