Course overview
This course is designed to explore the management of building and civil engineering projects in the following aspects: health and safety, scheduling, stakeholder management, and materials. These are critical success factors in building and civil engineering projects. This course will examine management strategies designed to address these critical issues throughout the life cycle of projects.
Course learning outcomes
- Develop and implement risk management strategies for construction projects and organizations for complex building and engineering projects
- Differentiate various procurement routes and select the appropriate procurement method for simple building and engineering projects
- Critically examine planning, execution and control problems in (professional practice) scheduling and explain their interaction with cost and resources management for simple building and engineering projects
- Identify and manage stakeholders in the construction sector and the project environment
- Identify key principles of sustainable development and the role of sustainable construction technologies
- Critically examine the resource efficiency issues (e.g. reuse and recycled materials, energy efficiency) in building and civil engineering projects
