The Commercial Construction Technology program at State Tech prepares students to build the structures that shape communities, from schools and hospitals to commercial complexes and public facilities. Students begin with a strong foundation in construction safety, blueprint reading, and surveying, then advance into roofing systems, commercial concrete, structural design, building codes, construction materials, mechanical and electrical systems, and project management. If you are interested in residential construction we have you covered, if you can build a commercial building you can build a home. Large scale residential building is often done by commercial builders. 

Throughout the program, students learn to interpret construction documents, estimate and schedule projects, and integrate modern building techniques into the construction environment. At State Tech, “hands-on” isn’t a slogan; it’s the foundation of the program. Students participate in every stage of constructing a new commercial building, from the initial site survey all the way through finish work, giving graduates real experience and real projects they can proudly show family and friends.

With strong industry partnerships and state-of-the-art labs, students train on the tools, technology, and standards used on professional job sites. Every student also completes an internship, gaining valuable on-the-job experience while forming connections that often lead directly to employment.

The construction industry needs skilled professionals, workers whose expertise can’t be automated or replaced. Graduates enter high-demand positions in pre-construction services such as estimating, procurement, and scheduling, as well as field roles across multiple trades, often advancing into positions like field engineer or superintendent.

At State Tech, you won’t just study construction:  you’ll build the future from the ground up.
