Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 19, 2014
The 2014 Turner School of Construction Management (TSCM) Graduation Ceremony with Keynote Speaker Ward 8 Councilmember Muriel Bowser was held on Wednesday, May 14, at 6 p.m., at the Blackburn University Center Ballroom at Howard University. Turner Construction Company partnered with the DC Small Business Development Center and Howard University to provide an eight-week intensive course teaching emerging contractors how to successfully propose to and work with large general contractors. Of the 200 students enrolled this year, 120 graduated in the largest Mid-Atlantic class to date.
The program was presented by Turner staff and select industry partners who have spent years in the field and are regarded as subject-matter experts. This years topics included project management, accounting & banking, estimating and procurement, safety and sales & marketing. Since its inception, the program has helped attendees build networks, form long-term business relationships, and establish successful joint ventures to win contracts with Turner and other industry leaders.
Ken Jones, Vice President and General Manager of Turner Mid-Atlantic Region, opened the ceremony by asking for a show of hands, How many of you were in business in 2007 and are still in business? Quite a few hands were raised and Jones continued, I don't care if you're a billion dollar company or a hundred thousand dollar company, you've made it if you've championed through the 2008 economic downturn.
Class speaker Deanne Howard, whose company Howard Painting & Drywall is now positioned to work with Turner on an upcoming project, recounted the recurring messages to contractors within the TSCM program:
Relationships Construction is a long-term business and relationships matter. Experts Focus on a specialty. Don't be a Jack or Jane of all trades. Safety Educate, engineer, and enforce safety protocols with your workforce. Profitability Walk away from a job if it's not a good fit for our company.
Featured speaker, Hilton Smith, Senior Vice President of Community Affairs for Turner Construction Company, drilled down on that last point announcing, If you cant do something, be honest and say that you cant do it. But then learn how to do it.
Finally, Councilmember Muriel Bowser took the podium addressing our citys growth. She stated a projected 800,000 DC residents in 2040, up from todays approximate 647,000. She is pleased to support Turners program because, I want to run this city, and we need to get ready for a big future. That's why I'm happy to see you all here. We want DC residents working. We want to create great small businesses, so we have wealth right here. DC small businesses hire DC residents, perpetuating a cycle of a stronger, more prosperous District across all 8 wards.
Turner has awarded more than $1 billion in contracts each year to minority- and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs) for the past nine years. Many graduates of the Turner School of Construction Management become the beneficiaries as their participation in the program greatly increases their eligibility to perform work on Turner projects and joint-ventures.

When your homes interior needs a decorating boost, painting is a cost-effective method which can give you a great new look with a price tag much lower than that of a complete renovation. Whether its to be a DIY or a professional job, advance planning and preparation will make the painting work go faster and more smoothly and most likely save you money to boot! Heres a to-do list that will get you started off on the right foot.
Get the Approval of Your Landlord or HOA
As a renter, youll need your landlords okay before doing any non-removable decorating. However, depending on your relationship and the conditions set out in your lease, he or she may be willing to chip in for a much-needed upgrade. If you own your home, you might assume that your homeowners association has no authority over interior work ... but you could be wrong, as in the case where a common wall or floor is shared with a neighboring townhouse tenant.
Verify Your Budget
Find out the going rates for both paint and painters (if you plan to hire a pro) to avoid any last minute surprises. Dont automatically hire the cheapest painting firm; check around to find a company with good local recommendations. Most contractors take a portion of the price up front, with the balance payable on completion of the work.
Find Temporary Housing if Necessary
Although a single coat of latex paint will dry within a few hours, you might still want to escape from your home for a day or two. This is especially true when you are having several rooms painted or your family includes an infant, elderly person, asthmatic or allergic individual or a house pet.
Research Your Paint and Colors
Heres the fun part browse decorating websites or magazines for ideas and news about the latest, trendiest shades of paint. Your choice of colors will be influenced by whether you are preparing to put your home up for sale. Realtors advise selecting pale, neutral shade to attract prospective buyers. Be sure to opt for low- or no-VOC paint, which is durable, cost-effective and less harmful to human and environmental health. Choose good quality paint that will last for years.
