Construction Project Management

This course is written from the perspective of teams that deliver construction projects.  It uses scenarios, procedures, documents, drawings, images and videos that built environment professionals will be familiar with.

The course is designed to be an interactive learning experience, rather than a lecture.  Course exercises include populating wall-mounted story maps with project activities, responding to a brief using building blocks, reviewing project documentation, and assigning responsibilities for project activities.  

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Define the outcomes that clients and their construction project teams need to achieve
• Recognize the 12 core principles of construction project delivery
• Describe what a project, project management, a project team and a project manager are
• Identify the eight stages of the delivery process for a construction project
• Understand what key activities should take place at each stage of project delivery
• Recognize the key role that commissioning, training and asset documentation play in successful project delivery
• Appreciate the need to provide post-handover support to client stakeholders
  
• Share international best practice about the delivery of construction projects

This course is ideal for built environment professionals of all disciplines.  These professionals may be involved in awarding contracts, winning work, preparing projects to start on site or delivering projects on site.  Participants may work as a project manager, planner, cost consultant, engineer, architect, design manager, construction manager, commercial manager, contracts manager, procurement manager, bid manager, quality manager, health and safety manager or commissioning specialist.
