This course aims to expose students to the realities of involvement and the practical challenges that arise in the procurement of large construction projects. Topics covered include tendering, site investigation, site establishment, occupational health and safety, risk management, material management, time management, cost management, quality management, contract management and customer relationship management as well as current construction management issues. Actual case projects will be studied in detail in terms of project initiation, feasibility, design and documentation, tendering, pre-construction, construction and commissioning, with a view to demonstrating the practical application of construction management theories in industry situations. By simulating typical scenarios that are likely to be encountered, students will be given the opportunity to identify potential problems and solutions. Case studies, group projects and site visits will be used as a means of learning and teaching approach.
