Students will be instructed in Critical Path Method (CPM) construction scheduling techniques; project resources and resource leveling, schedule updating, schedule impacts of date constraints, project time and cost trade-offs, activity duration estimating, work breakdown structures, differing scheduling requirements on different types of construction projects and an overview of construction contract scheduling specifications.
BIM
Students are introduced to MS projects, primavera and the development of building information models (BIM) and their associated databases, using state-of-the-art design and management systems.
BIM
The purpose of this course is to enable students to use Building Information Modeling (BIM) as part of the planning and measurement of performance on construction projects. Students will learn to measure the actual performance of work and the associated cost and schedule impacts as compared to baseline values. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of managing and tracking changes, and mitigating their impacts on construction projects.
