Produced by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and Destination ImagiNation (DI), with presenting sponsor Volvo Construction Equipment, the Construction Challenge Regional Rally is January 15, 2011 at the Atlanta Carpenters Training Center and seven other locations across North America. 

Construction Challenge blends the creative problem solving methodology of Destination ImagiNation with subject matter from AEM to make a program that engages youth in a fun learning experience and exposes them to new careers in the construction industry.  At Regional Rallies, high school teams of up to seven members will use their creativity, teamwork and problem solving skills to devise solutions to fun and engaging industry-related Challenges and meet with industry representatives.

“The prosperity of our industry very much depends on the availability of a qualified workforce. We at Volvo are committed to supporting efforts that develop the workforce of tomorrow,” said Göran Lindgren, president of Volvo Construction Equipment North America. “We look forward to working with AEM and Destination ImagiNation on promoting the value of construction and the construction industry in communities across North America through the Construction Challenge.”

Alaska is known to be the largest state in the United States of America in terms of the area. But it is the least densely populated area with most of its population residing in the Anchorage metropolitan. This state is filled with thousands of lakes; much of the area is covered by forests and surrounded by glacier complexes. The Bering Glacier complex is situated in Alaska.

Since the climate in Alaska is characterized by coolness, it can be imagines with snow fall how cold it gets in winters. Being covered in snow there is no possibility of construction works in the winters. The summer is cool and snow free and thus offers a suitable condition for Alaska construction work.  The area of construction work is also restricted by its geographical features. Since the major residential area is near and surrounding Anchorage, all the construction work is predominantly done there.

The major areas where Alaska constructions jobs are located are- Anchorage, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Kenai Peninsula and Fairbanks.

Alaska construction employment is seasonal given its climatic conditions. It is more like a summer job that cannot be the source of income round the year. Alaska gets17 to 24 hours of sunlight in the summers which helps in stretching work for hours longer than usually feasible in other states. This also means the workers can make money with working overtime.

One advantage of the Alaska construction employment being seasonal is that their payment or salary is higher by as much as 20% to 85% than equivalent categories of work done in other states. With their longer working hours and higher hourly wages, the Alaska construction job opportunities offer higher income than is possible in any other state.

Construction degrees can be bought from different universities like – University of Phoenix, Kaplan University Online, Capella University, American Intercontinental University Online etc.

The kind of Alaska construction job opportunities available are- Senior Project Manager, Project management Supervisor, Pipeline Integrity Professionals, Engineering construction project manager, Construction Plot Engineer, Execution coordinator, Construction and Related workers, Construction Niche audit Senior associate, Project Business Administrator.

It is possible to earn more money in Alaska construction jobs but the higher the qualification of a worker or an employee, the better would be the salary. Certainly experience has a strong role to play special with the hard terrain in Alaska. It is a comparatively less populated area so the job opportunities are nearly in proportion with the number of applicants. There is also need for the manual laborers that do not need any educational qualifications.

But for those jobs that need qualification, knowledge and experience, the resumes should be drafted very carefully reflecting on the expertise part and the efficiency of the employee and how the company and construction may flourish on inclusion of the particular employee in to the project.

Benefits like insurance and legal plans, compensation and bonuses etc are also made available for the employees of each company depending upon the company policies. The most distinctive feature of Alaska construction jobs is that it is seasonal, like a summer job.

Cost is a main factor that misleads home buyers when choosing a construction company. The choice of most buyers largely depends on the cost as they often choose the construction company that offers the lowest cost. But what they do not realize is that the low cost can often be misleading. There is always the risk of the construction company failing to complete the project within the agreed cost leading you to spend more than expected.

On the other hand you are compromising quality when you go for low cost. A construction company that promises to complete your construction project at a low cost will rarely give you an assurance of its quality. The low cost is usually achieved through using low quality raw materials. You could be spending more on maintenance and repairs in the future while experiencing the inconvenience due to low quality construction.

Another main that often misleads home buyers are the attractive advertisements. Construction companies often have highly attractive advertisements with pictures of model homes. They also try to make emotional appeal through using pictures of houses and pleased families. But the pictures that appear in these advertisements can be far from your budget.

Construction companies may also advertise various benefits of choosing them such as low cost and high quality and quick completion. All these benefits offered are not always applicable or right as various conditions may apply. The advertisements may also use phrases that can be often misleading. Phrases such as ëhigh quality construction’, ëleading builders’ are not always based on facts. They are merely used to build trust and credibility. Therefore it is advisable to gather information on your own before a final choice is made. Advertisements by construction companies can be designed to generate immediate response. This also may misleads buyers as its prompts them to take action prior to careful consideration.

Home Buyers may also look at the size of the firm. A reputed firm with many years of experience may be preferred over relatively new, small firms. This can at times be misleading although choosing a reputed construction company is advisable in most cases. The issue is when the particular company does not have much experience in the kind of house you plot to build. For example a large, reputed firm may only have experience in commercial construction and may not suit a small project. On the other hand it may also be too costly to hire a reputed firm. The size of the firm is also no guarantee that the constructor would complete the project on time.

Some construction companies may attract home buyers through the quick completion they offer. While they may complete the construction quick, this can be misleading when quick completion leads to poor quality of construction. Similarly certain construction companies may promise to design and construct within your budget but fail to do so.

Some construction companies make claims to build green homes that are not based on right facts. The ‘green home’ promised may not be as ëgreen’ as the construction company makes them out to be. The claims of building green homes or minimal impact on the environment can sometimes mislead home buyers.

Due to the competitiveness of the industry construction companies there is intense competition among the constructors to attract customers. In this attempt they may use various methods that can mislead you. Therefore it is very vital that you gather information about the company and review their past projects before you make the choice.
