The Collective Interest of the Venezuelan Chamber of Construction

The Venezuelan Chamber of Construction (CVC in Spanish) was founded in 1943, as a nonprofit civil association of public interest, which aims to promote, develop and protect the construction industry in Venezuela and defend the professional interests of its members and encourage their social, economic and moral improvement.

The CVC

As always, the CVC assumes its commitment to Social Responsibility with the foundation of the NGO of the Venezuelan Chamber of Construction –FCVC (in Spanish)-, which was created with the intention to encourage, among members of the CVC, an active and voluntary contribution in order to improve their social environment.

Current Programs of the CVC

Subject of Construction Management:

The FCVC has focused its action on two key programs in education the Subject of Construction Management. Since several years ago the CVC teaches the Subject of Construction Management as a compulsory subject in the curriculum of Civil Engineering at UNIMET, and in September 2006 it signed the Inter-Institutional Cooperation with the UCV. The School of Civil Engineering includes the Subject as a selective module and the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism has introduced it among the optional subjects in the construction area.

This Subject is designed to offer students an overview of the construction industry in Venezuela, presenting formal aspects with updated data, the topics inherent in the management of civil works, familiarizing the student with the development process in the construction in the country.
