Learning unit contents
The course "Construction project management" takes place during the first semester every year. The audiences of this course are civil engineers including architectural engineers.
The course is divided into 14 modules before the end help to address more easily manage a project of a building site. For this, the course starts on all actors during the implementation of a project (from design to realization). Gradually, measures, legal, economic, practical, audit & planning will be discussed.
As stated above, this course aims to make the link between design and production on site. Here are the chapters:
- Construction Stakeholders
- Construction Milestones
- Working Methods
- Judicial aspects
- Partnerships and Contracts (Design&Build)
- Standards, Codes and Certification
- Specifications
- Risk management and noise on site
- Site preparation and quality plan
- Site Planning
- Budget Calculation
- Waste management
- Technical inspection of the construction
Learning outcomes of the learning unit

- Know the relevant laws concerning the construction in Belgium
- Knowing stakeholder's role and responsibilities on site and the project intervention order
- Knowing about construction activity management tools
- Learn about the administrative documents such specifications, building permission etc.
- Understanding the design process - implementation - commissioning
