Introduction: This unit is designed to focus on factors that are involved in the relationship between the complexity of large construction projects and the management strategies required to plan, organise and co-ordinate such projects. This unit also supports students to analyse total Health & Safety management in the light of new and existing legislation and construction contracts, and the impact it has on issues surrounding construction management. Topics included in this unit are: management strategies, contract planning, pre-project phase, planning and design, contract selection phase, proje

Introduction: This unit is designed to focus on factors that are involved in the relationship between the complexity of large construction projects and the management strategies required to plan, organise and co-ordinate such projects.

This unit also supports students to analyse total Health & Safety management in the light of new and existing legislation and construction contracts, and the impact it has on issues surrounding construction management.

Topics included in this unit are: management strategies, contract planning, pre-project phase, planning and design, contract selection phase, project operations, project closeout and termination phase, management team, organisational systems, cash flow/funding.

Students will be able to gain an insight into the workings of all the stakeholders who are linked together through the process of managing complex buildings, including the identification of the various project delivery systems which form the basis of contractual relationships.
