Sustainable Construction Management

This Sustainable Construction Management training course will cover the importance and relevance of effective and pragmatic strategies required for construction management professionals to develop expertise. Construction management is the completion of a project's lifetime, which encompasses feasibility, preliminary design, advanced design, procurement, and construction. The course will also cover construction management from the standpoint of sustainable construction as an extra bonus.

Sustainable development and green building have been one of the most prominent issues in the real estate development industry over the past decade. Unfortunately, it is difficult to precisely define what makes a green construction. A "green" building is one that, via its design, construction, and operation, may both limit and eliminate negative impacts on the environment and climate. Green constructions simultaneously improve our quality of life and preserve the environment.

In addition to their technical knowledge, supervisory teams must possess essential administrative and supervision skills for the successful completion of projects. To maximise the likelihood of a project's success, building sites must be regulated, supervised, and maintained in a secure manner. There is the potential for significant danger and harm if it is not adequately managed and supervised. This training course introduces the practical tools required to manage the time and money of a project. In addition, the overall cost and duration of the project can be estimated based on the success rates and quantity of money spent during its duration. Moreover, consider the most effective environmental sustainability strategies.

This GLOMACS Sustainable Construction Management training course will feature:

• Practice in construction project management techniques
