Construction Management Degree and The Fixer Upper Blog

Welcome to the Fixer Upper Blog, which is part of my site ConstructionManagementDegree.org.

History of ConstructionManagementDegree.org

My name is Nicole Adams and I originally created this site after being frustrated that I couldn't find a reliable source for information about accredited construction management programs when making my own decision about picking a school. When researching construction management schools, I ended up collecting information from about 2 dozen schools, and that original research was the foundation of this website. After I had posted those notes online and started to receive dozens of emails a week asking more questions I expanded my listing to every state and every accredited program I could find.

Kristina Lewis

Kristina Lewis is a regular contributor and recent graduate of Rice University, where she studied English literature but fell in love with architecture after having a dizzying crush on an architecture student. After this crushing disappointment, she turned to writing, seeking solace but still loves learning about architecture. Now she gets paid to write sometimes, and other times she just writes for kicks.  She does not see material fortune in her future, but perhaps a measured amount of fame, and God willing, many, many kids.

Thanks and Enjoy!
