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, quality plan and site Planning
- BIM
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Understanding and mastering projects management including the design, construction and execution process for building construction projects. At the end of this course the student should be able to:
- Know the relevant laws concerning the construction in Belgium
- Knowing stakeholder's role and responsibilities on project and intervention order
- Knowing about management tools
- Learn about the administrative documents such specifications, building permission etc.
- Understanding the design process - implementation - commissioning
- Understanding the different links major milestone and tasks within project management
- Evaluate the budget of a project
- Prepare and submit a bid
- Coordinate a team to develop, agree and make a work plan.
- Access to appropriate resources of information and evaluate them
- Persevere despite difficulties or initial challenges to find the optimal solution.
- Document and communicate a project brief
- Plan activities to make the best the available time.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
None, this course is an introductory course.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Attendance is compulsory during sessions.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
>> Course modality in "yellow " COVID context:
The courses are run on site, with a live broadcast on ecampus-collaborate. Course materials (and recordings when possible) are available on ecampus.
The evaluation modalities for a "yellow" situation are as follow:
- Continuous evaluation of theoretical knowledge with "quizzes" available on ecampus
- Final evaluation of a report presented in class
>> Course modality in "orange " COVID context:
Due to a probable classroom lack of space, the courses would be run online on ecampus-collaborate. Course materials (and recordings when possible) would still be available on ecampus.
The evaluation modalities for an "orange" situation are as follow:
- Continuous evaluation of theoretical knowledge with "quizzes" available on ecampus
- Final evaluation of a report presented online via ecampus-collaborate

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Overall:
- An examination for the theoretical part : 50% of the overall rating.
- The overall assessment of the practical work and exercises : 50%

Organizational remarks
Attendance is graded. Unjustified absences (beyond two times) will disqualify the student from attending the final exam.
