Full Time VS Part Time

Hey guys,
Currently studying for the GMAT as we speak. I am in project management for a large commercial contractor who primarily builds high rise office and residential buildings for well known national real estate development companies. I would like to take all of my construction knowledge over to the actual development side of things, and this is where I believe an MBA would come in handy. The MBA would be a stepping stone for me to get into an associate role with a developer, and I feel my construction background could only help me market myself better. While I could transition to a development company as a construction manager, I am more interested in the financial/deal side of things.
All of my research seems to suggest that FT is the way to go if you want to switch careers, but is what I am wanting to do considered an industry change? I would personally like to go part time so I could continue to work, keep learning the construction business, continue building my network, etc.
I am not afraid of networking to find a job, would you guys consider the part time/weekend program a good fit for me? I am interested in the McCombs & Mays weekend programs as well as the Rice PT program.
All help is greatly appreciated.
