The Construction Industry Overview
Course Description
The construction industry is the largest industry in the world. It is more of a service than a manufacturing industry. Growth in this industry in fact is an indicator of the economic conditions of a country. This is because the construction industry consumes a wide employment circle of labor. While the manufacturing industry exhibit high-quality products, timelines of service delivery, reasonable cost of service, and low failure rates, the construction industry, on the other hand, is generally the opposite. Most projects exhibit cost overruns, time extensions, and conflicts among parties. Construction project management is a relatively young field. However, its impact has been quite remarkable. It has become an important practice for improving the efficiency of construction operations around the world. This course deals with some topics and tools of the large field of project management. This course is dedicated mainly to undergraduate engineering students, especially Civil Engineering personnel where most of the applications are presented in the civil engineering field. It provides the candidate with the main knowledge to manage a construction project from preliminary stages to handover.
