before you commence this course. 

 

 

Course Description

This capstone course consolidates and builds on the key skills and knowledge you have developed throughout the Construction Management program.  You will engage in industry based problems and explore construction planning and design principles and practices within the global context. The objectives of this course are to develop the knowledge and skills required to produce detailed and accurate industry documentation, including tender submissions for large urban projects. In doing so, you will systematically analyse the construction industry across the following areas:
- Technology
- Management/Leadership
- Negotiation/Administration/ IR
- Investment/Economics/Development
- Quantitative Surveying
- Sustainability
- Law/Regulation
- Risk
- OH&S.

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.)
