Project management techniques, managing project resources, controlling the project, analysis of trends in project management.
This course introduces current best practices of construction project planning, control, and management techniques. These include, but are not limited to, critical path method, earned value analysis, resource management, linear scheduling, advanced work packaging, project time-cost trade-off, building information modelling (BIM), digital construction tools and methods, and health and safety management. Both theoretical knowledge and practical applications are addressed and integrated. Students are required to demonstrate a high level of independent and critical thinking by critically evaluating traditional practices and prospecting for the future of construction management.
