The Institute will accept qualified individuals engaged in construction
work as manager, practitioner, or administrator in installation,
design or survey within a construction organization. In addition,
persons associated with the construction process are also eligible
including students and teachers of the science and practice of construction
and those engaged in construction research. Whether the person is
associated with the construction of buildings, bridges, highways,
factories, or homes, the Institute gives the constructor a place
to hang his professional hat.

How
does the Institute benefit its members?
The American Institute of Constructors fills a need that has long
existed but has only recently been recognized. This is the need
for people in construction to attain professional stature. This
is not simply a luxury. Rather, given construction's mounting complexities,
professional stature is an important asset in the individual practitioner's
daily activities. Membership in the American Institute of Constructors
tells people within construction - and those outside as well - that
"this person has earned professional status through education,
experience, service and conduct." The Institute also helps members
to exchange ideas with others within the profession and to keep
abreast of recent technical developments. Perhaps most importantly,
the institute allows each member to put something back into the
profession - by contributing time and effort toward meeting the
important goals the institute has set. |
