On completion of the course, students are able to:
1. Apply the contract strategy in selecting the best type of construction
contract to suit the type of construction work e.g. admeasurement,
lump sum, cost reimbursable or target cost contracts.
2. Manage the tendering process in the construction contract
administration and documentation, prepare contract evaluation and
variation and to make valid civil engineering claims
3. Apply the operational cost estimating technique and carry out risk
appraisal for small projects incorporating the method-related charges.
4. Apply the project planning technique and the Critical Path Method
(CPM) for construction projects.
5. Apply the theory of construction materials and plant management.
