Introduction to Construction Management

This course provides a complete, professional introduction to construction management: the discipline of planning, coordinating, and controlling a construction project from concept to handover. You will learn how construction projects are planned and estimated, how procurement routes and contract types such as lump sum and cost-plus allocate risk, how sites are mobilised and managed, and how schedule, cost, quality, and safety are controlled through to commissioning and closeout, with worked numeric examples, comparison tables, and realistic site scenarios throughout.

The course is designed for aspiring construction managers, site engineers and supervisors moving into management, quantity surveying and project support staff, and professionals from other industries entering construction. No prior management experience is required; every technical term is defined on first use.

On completion you take an online exam of thirty questions covering all modules. When you pass, you receive a verifiable digital certificate you can share with employers and add to your professional profile.
