This course provides in-depth exploration of principles, practices and roles essential for managing construction projects. Students explore phases of the project life cycle; stakeholder responsibilities; and intricacies of contracts, cost control and scheduling methods across residential, commercial and infrastructure projects. Students evaluate and apply management concepts to ensure project efficiency, compliance and successful delivery.
This course addresses selection, properties and applications of common construction materials such as concrete, steel, wood and masonry in various building systems. Students evaluate construction techniques; material performance; and the interplay between materials, design and structural integrity. Coursework emphasizes sustainability, code compliance, and the critical role of materials in project planning and execution.
This course focuses on developing and managing complex construction projects, including scheduling, planning techniques, resource allocation and timeline optimization. Students apply industry-standard tools such as the critical path method (CPM), Gantt charts and project management software to monitor progress and control project timelines. The course prepares students to identify scheduling risks; coordinate activities; and support on-time, on-budget project delivery.
Students in this course examine principles and practices of cost estimation and budget development in construction projects. Students prepare quantity takeoffs, develop detailed cost estimates and analyze budgets using industry-standard tools and methodologies. They also apply cost control, bid preparation, and financial decision-making to support accurate and competitive project delivery.
This course introduces steps required to manage various types of construction projects through the project life cycle phases – feasibility, design, build, test, deploy and close. Topics include the roles of construction project stakeholders including construction project managers, owners, architects, engineers, contractors, project teams, suppliers and customers. Contract types, including fixed-price, cost-reimbursable, and time and materials, are explored.
