Building, Construction, and Engineering | CTE Journeys Handbooks

A new high-rise is being built downtown. In an office building, Deb schedules supply shipments for a construction site. Across town, De’andre and Steven build framing to hold up the walls and floors of a new building. They are rough carpenters. Anh is a surveyor. She is on-site to measure the land and make a digital map. What do all of these people have in common? They all work in the field of Building, Construction, and Engineering. This book will help you learn more about careers in this field.
