Avis
Meilleurs avis pour CONSTRUCTION FINANCE
Great course that helped understand financing throughout construction. I'm an attorney who recently joined a housing developer, and this course really assisted my understanding of the industry.
The course was both challenging and informative. I found most of what I learned in this course will be applied going forward. I took this course as a goal through my employer.
As an architect with yet no experience on the construction industry, I value so much all the lectures. I now feel prepared to go into the sector with a better understanding.
Construction Finance has never ever been presented in away that Dr Odeh done. I will definitely advice the course to all my environment.\n\nThank you very much indeed.
