The
McKernon Group recognizes that the quality of work a design/ build
company produces is directly related to the talents and training
of its staff. The demand for new designs and the explosion of new
building
materials and technologies furthers the need for up-to-date information
and construction practices. The construction industry is very dynamic
and The McKernon Group is committed to combining old world craftsmanship
and quality with projects that place us at the forefront of industry
trends.
 Members of our construction crews are given the opportunity to improve
their skills by taking classes in specific trades through the Vermont
Construction Careers Council. The syllabus for each course is based
on the National Center for Construction Education and Research Standards.
Graduates receive certificates that are recognized throughout the
country.
Energy efficiency and green building are priorities for The McKernon
Group. A good cross section of staff regularly attends conferences
on these topics. As a design/build company we incorporate many
of the ideas, products and strategies from these conferences into
our
projects. Also, an extensive library of building trade periodicals
and newsletters is available to all the staff, and it serves as
a resource for products, tool research and building techniques.
Experience has shown us that the customer is the driving force in
the construction industry. The McKernon Group is committed to continuing
education and training so that we may best serve our clients. |
