Course Description
This industry-accredited course is designed for those who want to be at the heart of managing the construction procurement process.

With sustainable construction methods and technology at the core of your learning, this course will help you develop a thorough understanding about all of the important parts of the construction management process — finances, cost planning and estimating, law, contract administration, architectural science, through to building engineering and measurement.
