Construction management and economics
Modern construction is a complex, highly organised commercial business dealing with large capital investments, sophisticated construction techniques, highly skilled labour and real time project information systems.
A construction manager understands these sophisticated techniques and can use and manage project information efficiently and decisively to meet objectives.
Every construction project is different, with new challenges in planning, design, construction and commissioning. This brings alternative ideas and fresh problems to solve with new people in evolving project teams. Rapid changes in technology test the ingenuity and enterprise of the estimators, project managers, contract administrators, schedulers and other experts in the field. Construction organisations worldwide seek out well-educated graduates with good communication skills from recognised tertiary programs.
