Building Construction Technology Tool List
The following is a list of tools which each student will be required to have in order to participate in the Building Construction Program. Time will be allowed for you to accumulate the following items, but each student must have these items by a specified cut-off date. Remember, these are your tools to keep! If you loan them to someone else and they get damaged, lost or stolen, it will be your personal loss. I will conduct periodic checks to confirm that you have the required tools and that you maintain them in a safe and serviceable condition. The list below will represent a monetary investment. Prudence would also suggest that you permanently mark your tools to aid in their positive identification and help avoid confusion and mix-ups. The suggested brand names for these tools are just that, suggested. You may prefer other brands which is your prerogative. I would again, suggest purchasing the highest quality tools affordable commensurate with your budget.
