Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
From 1 January
Enforced Prerequisite: 045736 Construction Planning and Design 1
Prior to 2016
You should have satisfactorily completed the prerequisite courses Cost Planning and Tendering Building Services before you commence this course.
You should undertake the course Structures and Materials 2 at the same time as this course as it contains areas of knowledge and skills which are implemented together in practice. These are co-requisite courses.
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.)
