About Me

 My name is Patrick, and I study at Cégep Montmorency in the civil engineering program. In this program, I take courses such as environmental engineering, concrete structure, steel structure wich help me understand how to build houses, how to make my own concrete, how to build buildings the ecological way and how to save water in those projects. I also learn how to behave on a construction site and how to be safe on them. This program can lead to careers in civil engineering, construction engineering or i could also create my own business in the construction theme. With this program i could also build or renovate my own house in the future. On this blog I will share what I learned and explore new topics related to construction and professional life.
