Description
The objective of this course is to equip participants with the practical knowledge and skills needed to professionally manage construction activities on-site.This course will cover the essential tools and strategies for effective construction management. Key topics include implementing and controlling time schedules, understanding lean construction principles, and applying Total Quality Management (TQM). We’ll also dive into cost control techniques, using real-world examples to demonstrate how to monitor and manage project expenses effectively.
Resource allocation strategies will be explored, focusing on optimizing workforce size while staying within budget. As contracts and procurement are often major challenges in construction projects, we'll discuss various strategies to manage these processes and find optimal solutions. A key focus will be on applying the right quality management system, including how to conduct quality control for concrete and steel structures. The methods of QC for concrete and steel will be discuss in detail.
Effective communication is critical in large-scale projects, where managing a workforce of hundreds or even thousands of employees require strong communication systems and skills. This course will provide practical tips for improving communication management in such environments. All our courses will discuss the practical ways with strong theoretical background.
Additionally, attendees will receive a free eBook covering 100 Q&A for PMP preparation.
