Module Aims
To develop students’ understanding of construction project planning and programming, including schedule development, activity-on-node analysis, network techniques, and practical project control methods used to manage time, resources, and project workflows.
To build students’ knowledge of procurement, tendering, team selection, and qualification processes, enabling them to evaluate procurement strategies and their impact on project performance, value, and risk.
To enhance students’ competence in construction management practice, including site logistics, quality and environmental management, waste minimisation, health and safety documentation, lean construction principles, and supply chain management, preparing them for effective participation in real construction projects.
Content Summary
This module provides a comprehensive exploration of the planning, programming, and operational management processes that underpin successful construction project delivery. Students will develop practical skills in schedule planning, activity-on-node analysis, network techniques, and project programming, supported by hands-on workshops and real project examples. The module also examines procurement strategy, team selection, tender evaluation, and qualification, enabling students to understand how procurement decisions shape project outcomes.
Alongside project programming, students will gain insight into core construction management activities, including quality and environmental management, waste management, lean construction, logistics planning, resource management, and supply chain control. They will also learn how key site documentation—such as Construction Phase Plans, RAMS, and site establishment plans—supports safe and efficient operations.
By integrating technical planning skills with procurement knowledge and on-site management practices, this module strengthens students’ ability to coordinate, control, and optimise construction projects. It provides an essential foundation for advanced modules in project management, commercial practice, and leadership while developing the practical competencies expected of future construction professionals.
