Construction Management Masterclass: From Planning to Close
Master planning, scheduling, contracts, cost control, risk, claims, EOT, quality, HSE & construction execution
Description
This Construction Management Masterclass provides a comprehensive understanding of construction projects from fundamentals to advanced professional practices. It is designed for engineers, project managers, planners, and construction professionals who want to develop strong technical and managerial skills.
The course begins with construction management fundamentals, industry structure, project life cycle, and stakeholder roles. It explains the differences between construction management, contract management, and project management, along with real-world responsibilities. You will explore project delivery systems such as Design–Bid–Build, Design–Build, EPC, and PPP, as well as organisational structures and governance.
You will learn scope development, WBS, CBS, OBS, and RAM, followed by detailed planning and scheduling concepts including CPM, float, resource planning, baseline development, and recovery techniques. The course also covers cost engineering, BOQ, budgeting, cash flow, and Earned Value Management (EVM) for performance control.
In addition, you will gain knowledge of contract types, procurement, FIDIC principles, contract administration, claims, delay analysis, and Extension of Time (EOT). The course includes construction execution, quality, HSE, risk management, monitoring, and project closeout, supported by real-world case studies.
This course also includes practical insights, real project scenarios, and professional guidance to help you apply concepts effectively in real construction environments and advance your professional career.
