Introduction:
This course examines the development of a construction project from the point when a client identifies a need through to the development of the business case.
It looks at the different approaches to estimating costs and project duration, both in terms of capital and lifetime costs.
On this course, you’ll develop your understanding of the role of the project manager at the project initiation stage and gain the ability to analyse value propositions for different clients and the understanding of how project value can be established.
You'll also learn how to assist construction clients when identifying key project objectives, as well how to assess viability, affordability and achievability.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- provide guidance and assistance to construction clients
- select and apply methods of estimating construction costs
- critically appraise project viability.
A CPD certificate will be issued upon successful completion of a course.
Passing the assessed element (an exam or coursework) can also contribute credit towards a postgraduate award. All candidates seeking credit will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If you wish to receive credit you must mention this at the time of application, or with your tutor at the earliest opportunity.
