2. Course Introduction

This course provides practical skills, concepts and principles you can take back to the job – along with insights you'll need to adapt them to specific project scenarios. This practical course gives you a performance edge by teaching you how to initiate, plan, control and complete your projects more efficiently and effectively. Projects are work performed to meet specified objectives within specific time, cost and resource constraints. Project Management is the application of concepts, techniques, and principles to maximize the probability of project success.

3. Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will be able to

Create construction project schedules.

Analyze professional decisions based on ethical principles.

Analyze construction documents for planning and management of construction processes.

Apply construction management skills as a member of a multi- disciplinary team.

Understand different methods of project delivery and the roles and responsibilities of all constituencies involved in the design and construction process.

Understand construction risk management.

Understand construction accounting and cost control.

Understand construction quality assurance and control.

Understand construction project control processes.

Understand the legal implications of contract, common, and regulatory law to manage a construction project.
