Jez Alogla
Construction Manager, Fischer Homes. Adjunct Instructor, Construction Management, Columbus State.
Jez Alogla enrolled at Columbus State to obtain an associate degree in Construction Management. “I’d previously worked in the construction industry for eight years, so I felt that I knew most everything there was to know about construction,” he said. “Boy, was I wrong!”
The Construction Management program helped Alogla become a well-rounded construction manager who understands all facets of a construction project. It helped him solidify skills he already learned on the job, like blue print reading and field management, and taught him new ones, like how to use Timberline estimating software, Auto CAD drafting software, and Primavera scheduling software.
Alogla appreciated that his instructors at Columbus State had backgrounds in the industry, and were able to challenge students at every level of experience. “They had such a huge impact on me that, after I graduated, I came back to Columbus State as adjunct professor in construction sciences,” he said.
