How to Optimize Construction Project Time and
Cost while Improving Quality
Course Overview
Project personnel working on medium to large construction projects continue to face mounting challenges in the delivery of their projects. The rapid impact of globalization has placed even stricter demands on project delivery time, cost and quality.
Knowledgeable executives recognize that a major ingredient for project success is the active project management. It is therefore essential to have a working understanding of project planning, estimating, scheduling, and execution control procedures.
Construction projects often encounter costly claims which delay projects and cause owners and contractors to incur damages. Understanding construction administration and claims avoidance goes a long way towards achieving sound project objectives.
This GLOMACS training course highlights the following topics:
- Practice in project management techniques
- Techniques to collaboratively work with others
- Understand crucial issues affecting performance
- Methods to meet deadlines
- Proven techniques to achieve project success
