Supervisor:

Department of Construction Technology

Synopsis:

The course introduces students to the fundamental principles of the preparation, planning, modelling, and management of building construction and investment projects. Attention is given to construction processes and their spatial, technological, and temporal structures, to the technological stages of construction, and to the relationships between individual activities. Students are introduced to methods for determining the duration of construction processes, the preparation of schedules and cyclograms, the theory of flow-line construction, and the modelling of construction progress using network diagrams and timespace charts.

The course also covers construction technology planning, the analysis of technological procedures, the determination of labour, material, and other resource requirements over time, and the basic principles of construction site layout planning. Attention is also paid to quality control in construction, risk identification and analysis, occupational health and safety requirements, and the environmental aspects of construction activities.

A significant part of the course focuses on practical construction scheduling and project management using specialised software. Students learn how to create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), work with calendars, tasks, dependencies, and milestones, determine the critical path and float, plan and level resource capacities, manage costs, and establish a project baseline. They also learn how to monitor and update actual project progress, evaluate deviations from the plan, and prepare tabular and graphical reports to support construction management.
