About PMI
The Associated Builders and Contractors Project Management Institute is a premier education and professional development opportunity for future project management leaders in the construction industry. Developed by experienced ABC contractors and Kirk Alter, this course is designed specifically to meet the needs of today’s contractors. Participants will get an inclusive look at successfully handling all aspects of project management.

Attendees will learn tools to improve profitability and productivity and increase quality and customer satisfaction. This highly interactive, fast-paced course focuses on project management essentials using real and relevant examples and case studies. Participants will obtain the management tools and skills needed for individual success and a positive impact to their firm.

This course is 80 hours of instruction in two nonconcurrent 40-hour sessions, with an interim period between classes for applied assignments, readings and reporting. Classes are in session from 8 a.m. through 9 p.m. with a welcome dinner the first week and a closing graduation banquet the last day.

Class size is limited to 24 participants to provide an interactive experience and to allow the instructor to be fully available to the attendees. Students who register to participate will be required to stay at the dedicated hotel for the group.

Meal Requirements
Chapters that are selected to host a session are required to provide food and beverages for both weeks of the session for the participants and instructor in addition to the opening and closing banquets. The opening and closing dinners should be a more elevated, nice dinner for the participants.

● Opening banquet on Monday evening during the first week and closing banquet on Friday evening during the second week with a nice dinner and cocktails.
● All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are provided to the participants Tuesday through Friday of both weeks. If possible, do not repeat meals in the same week.
● A beverage and snack station should be provided throughout the day for both weeks.

Session Schedule
All activities, including the opening and closing banquets, should be held at the main session location. A hotel room block will need to be arranged by the hosting chapter for the students with a discounted room rate.

• Monday evening, 6-8 p.m.—Opening banquet and welcome (Dinner and cocktails should be served here)

• Tuesday-Friday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m.—Class

Application
This application gives chapters the opportunity to host an ABC Project Management Institute in 2026. Complete all sections of this application by Friday, August 8. Applications from chapters that have not hosted a PMI session before will be prioritized.

Payment

Chapters will receive a revenue share of up to $2,000 for each confirmed participant. If attendance for less than 24 participants is confirmed, the revenue share will be reduced by 50% for each participant count below 24. For example, if only 20 participants attend, the revenue share is reduced as follows:

  • Revenue share ($2,000 X 20 participants): $40,000
  • Less: 50% attendance credit ($1,000 X 4 participants): (4,000)
  • Net chapter revenue share: $36,000
  • This results in a revenue share of $1,800 per participant.

Chapters will receive payment for their portion of the program upon completion of Week 2 and will be expected to cover upfront costs for the program.
