Introduction:

Develop your understanding of how to estimate and cost a project or building at different stages. This eight-week Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course will provide you with an appreciation of the factors that will influence project value, project cost and time to completion.

With links to construction companies worldwide, the School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment is key to supporting your progress to senior management.

This course will help you to develop a lasting knowledge of the whole life cost, life cycle costing and cost forecasting, as well as the industry standards relating to cost and estimating.

At the end of the eight-week course, you will be awarded a CPD certificate.

Passing the assessed element (an exam or coursework) can also contribute ten credits towards a postgraduate award. All candidates seeking credit will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If you wish to follow the credit route you must mention this on your application form.
