NARI Announces New Certification Program
Program professionalizes project management role in remodeling
Des Plaines, Illinois, August 10, 2011—The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) is pleased to announce an industry first, the Certified Remodeler Project Manager (CRPM) education and certification program, launching Sept. 6, 2011.
The program addresses a growing need in the remodeling industry. “It’s becoming more common for remodeling companies to use project managers to supervise projects, rather than lead carpenters or general contractors,” saysDavid Walker, of Double Check Builders, Inc., based in Ronkonkoma, N.Y. and member of the CRPM development committee and the program’s first facilitator.
In response to that need, NARI tasked a working group of members with direct experience in project management with developing a new certification aimed at professionalizing the project manager role in the residential remodeling industry.
The committee created a set of knowledge domains and sub-domains that include project cost management, communication, project planning, quality assurance, recordkeeping and risk management. “To create the domains, we drew upon our own experiences in project management to identify the most important areas of study,” Walker says. “We also placed higher concentration on the most crucial domains within a successful project and those are reflected in the prep course study and test.”
The CRPM certification is meant to establish a body of knowledge for project managers that will increase the level of professionalism in how remodeling projects are managed to drive customer satisfaction and profitability for the company.
“We are confident that those who participate in the CRPM will walk away with a strong foundation for building a successful process to handle all types of projects from beginning to end,” Walker says. “The domains from the program hit on all aspects of what a project manager will experience in their roles—everything from ordinary occurrences, to triumphs, or to challenges.”
For more information on the eligibility requirements, registration and sub-domains, please visit www.nari.org/certify/crpm.
NARI members represent a select group from the approximately 800,000 companies and individuals in the U.S. identifying themselves as professional remodelers.
NARI is a professional association whose members voluntarily subscribe to a strict code of ethics. Consumers may wish to search www.nariremodelers.com to find a qualified professional who is a member of NARI. For the latest information on green remodeling, visit www.GreenRemodeling.org.
