Design Management in Construction - Level 2

We have created a CPD - Design Management Course for the AEC industry (architects, engineering and construction professionals). It offers an invaluable overview of all aspects of the role, and ideal for anyone interested in entering the profession or progressing their career. The course covers Definitions & Introductions, Tools for Design Management, Sub-contract procurement, Design Delivery Framework and RIBA Plan of Work and also Contractor-Led design management. The design process is the flow of information to aid planning, procurement and construction through all stages of the works.

Nearly all aspects of construction are influenced in one way or another by design, and design management. Design management is multi-layered and diverse, and the implementation will differ from project to project. It is intrinsically connected to all aspects of a project such as safety, sustainability, buildability and quality. Design management is an essential tool within a design consulting, investment, or contracting organisation that oversees design development, manages the appointment of consultants and specialist sub-contractors, obtains relevant approvals from local authorities and arranges design deliverables in a timely manner to meet the master construction programme.

Engineers, Interior designers, architectural technologists, and site managers who are looking to change their career can benefit from studying this course.
