“The classes drove home how important it is to be very accurate with site layout and how much grade difference can throw off measurements.” 
– Jarod Sweinhart, Arthur Funk & Sons, Inc.

“This seminar helped me understand the entire building “picture” and that will benefit me in the underground plumbing work we do.”
– Rich Morrow, Plumbing Journeyman, Walton & Co.
