Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

You should have satisfactorily completed the prerequisite course 

• BUIL1245 Construction Planning and Design 1 

before you commence this course. 

Alternatively, you may be able to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge before you 

Course Description

This course prepares you apply construction theory in professional practice scenarios. The objectives of this course are to: develop your understanding of how construction techniques, measurement and estimating, and process planning are applied to a medium density building; integrate and apply skills and knowledge developed so far in the Construction Management program to solve problem based industry scenarios; address issues faced by the industry in areas of construction risk with a focus on building services, environmental management and compliance.

Note: Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information.) 

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:

• PLO1: Determine and apply complex construction management theory to your professional practice and/or further study
• PLO2: Professionally communicate to a range of audiences, demonstrating in depth knowledge of the discipline and of the needs of diverse construction management stakeholders
• PLO3: Apply logical critical and creative thinking to analyse, synthesise and apply theoretical knowledge and technical skills to formulate evidenced based solutions to industry problems or issues
• PLO5: Collaborate effectively with others and demonstrate intellectual independence and autonomy to solve problems and/or address industry issues or imperatives
• PLO6: Critically examine and reflect on the profession, in local and/or global contexts, and question accepted interpretations and decision making
