Description
This Construction Project Management course covers planning, scheduling, cost control, contracts, risk management, claims, and construction execution from fundamentals to advanced professional level. It is designed for engineers, project managers, planners, and construction professionals who want to build strong practical and managerial skills for real-world projects.
This course focuses on real-world construction project management practices, not just theory, helping you handle actual site challenges, delays, and claims with confidence. This course is designed to bridge the gap between theory and real construction project execution, enabling you to perform effectively in real project environments.
What makes this course different?
You will gain a complete understanding of construction project management, including project lifecycle, stakeholder management, and industry practices used in real construction environments.
Key Technical Topics Covered:
• Planning & Scheduling: Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS), Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS), Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM), Critical Path Method (CPM), float analysis, resource planning, baseline development, and recovery techniques.
• Cost Control: Bill of Quantities (BOQ), budgeting, cash flow analysis, and Earned Value Management (EVM) for effective project performance control.
• Contracts & Claims: FIDIC principles, procurement strategies, contract administration, delay analysis, and Extension of Time (EOT).
• Project Delivery Methods: Design–Bid–Build, Design–Build, EPC, and PPP.
• Construction Execution: Quality management, Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), risk management, monitoring and control, and project closeout.
Practical examples and real project scenarios are included throughout the course to help you apply concepts effectively in real construction environments.
By the end of this course, you will be able to plan and manage construction projects, control costs and schedules, handle contracts and claims professionally, and improve your decision-making skills to advance your career in the construction industry.
