Module Aims
To enable students to apply their learning to real life construction scenarios focusing on risk, safety and logistics.
Students use software to plan and program construction projects
Content Summary
Construction management is integral to the success and smooth running of construction project.
This module focuses on the management of health and safety, site logistics and planning of running a construction site, embedding the legislation which underpins this.
The students will gain a critical evaluation of planning a construction project, and the leadership and participants required at the various stages. They will develop their programming skills from pre-tender through to completion using network diagrams and programming software.
Students will analyse qualitative and quantitative methods to assess risk, and understand the importance of maintaining of accurate records of risks and issues associated with a project. They will apply their knowledge of risk management in real life scenarios where they will develop RAMS.
Students will develop their understanding of the importance of waste and environmental management and the legislation that underpins this, and consider how the impact of waste can be limited by construction decision.
