Construction Project Management

Why Attend

An incredibly diverse range of commercial, industrial, education, healthcare, transport, leisure and domestic activities take place around the world each day – all enabled by man-made buildings and infrastructure.  In this built environment, construction project teams need to profitably produce buildings that meet the needs of the people that use, manage, operate and maintain them.  This is impossible to achieve without having a clearly defined and well-managed delivery process in place for a project.

This course presents an integrated project delivery process that starts at project inception and continues into a building’s operational life. A journey will then be taken through the different project stages to provide guidance and tools that participants can take back to their workplaces to implement and help improve the management of their projects.

 

Course Methodology

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.  

Target Audience

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.
