Introduction

This course is an advanced level course building on basic knowledge gained from earlier study and practical experience.

It is designed for practicing project managers; construction managers; engineers; surveyors; planners and other professionals who require an in depth knowledge of more complex and sophisticated techniques to enable them to plan, monitor and control contracts with more confidence and deal more effectively with the problems which can occur if things go wrong.

The course looks at tried and tested methods of risk analysis to minimize exposure to problems and considers fault avoidance as a necessary part of this.

Over 5 days this course will look at the management of a project from start to finish including the all important “closing the loop” at the end where lessons are discussed and recorded.

The interaction of time, cost and quality control will be a major underlying theme throughout together with a detailed study of risk techniques to be applied throughout the project to minimize problems and maximize client satisfaction and profitability.

Fault recognition and avoidance and the maintenance of strict quality guidelines complete the course.
