This course is aimed at industry professionals seeking to acquire advanced, strategic level skills as project managers in the global construction industry and built environment who are wishing to progress towards managerial positions.

This course aims to enable the understanding of process and production management issues, including planning and control approaches, procurement and contract management strategies, the management of resources, and how information technology can be applied to support successful project outcomes with a clear focus on Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM).
