Description
This Construction Management course is designed to equip students with a broad understanding of the principles, concepts, and techniques used in the construction industry.
The course covers a wide range of topics, including project, program, and portfolio management, contract types and tendering methods, project delivery methods, scheduling techniques, cost control techniques, cost and schedule estimation, earthwork estimation, and construction safety.
At the heart of the course is project management, which is essential for successful project delivery. Students will learn about the different stages of the project lifecycle, including initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closing.
They will also gain an understanding of the various project management methodologies, including the traditional waterfall method and the agile approach. In addition to project management, the course covers contract types and tendering methods, which are essential for effective procurement.
Students will learn about the different types of contracts, such as fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, and time and materials, and the different types of tendering methods, such as open, selective, and negotiated. The course also covers project delivery methods such as design-bid-build, design-build, and construction management . Students will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and gain an understanding of how to select the most appropriate delivery method for a given project.
Scheduling is another critical aspect of construction management, and the course covers two popular scheduling techniques: activities on nodes and activities on arrows. Students will learn how to create a project network diagram, calculate critical path, and perform schedule compression techniques such as crashing and fast tracking.
Cost control is equally important, and the course covers earned value analysis, which is a widely used technique for monitoring and controlling project costs as well as trend analysis and cost forecasting.
Students will also learn about schedule control techniques such as crashing and fast tracking, and cost and schedule estimation. Finally, the course covers earthwork estimation and construction safety, which are essential aspects of any construction project. Students will learn how to estimate the excavation, grading, and backfilling quantities for a given project, and gain an understanding of the safety regulations and standards that must be followed on construction sites.
Overall, this Construction Management course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, concepts, and techniques used in the construction industry.
The course is designed to prepare students for the FE Civil Exam, and includes over 50 quiz questions to reinforce learning and test understanding.
