What is it about

Effective project management involves the assessment and management of risk. It represents the overall planning, co-ordination and control of a project from inception to completion and aims to meet the client's requirements by delivering a project to specification, on time and to budget.

Performed well, project management should add significant value to the process of delivering a project. The Chartered Institute of Building produced a code of practice for project management that embodies good practice and detailed advice on the principles for successful project management.

The Code of Practice represents a cross-boundary approach to construction project management by incorporating working practices and policies from across the construction industry; encompassing clients, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, builders, specialist contractors and the major professional institutions. It reflects the changes in practices initiated by Latham, Egan and the related initiatives.

This two-day course reflects the structure of the code and the project management process itself, addressing the key project management stages and issues.

This course is designed for those who will use the code of practice in the workplace and also those who wish to understand best practice in project and construction management.

The tutors are chartered civil engineers who have extensive experience in managing construction projects. They have wide ranging experience encompassing project, commercial and organisational management, value and risk management, and project partnering and alliances. In addition to considerable practical experience they have developed and delivered training across many industry disciplines.

Delegates attending this course, and/or Construction Project Methods, will receive one complimentary copy of the book: Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development 3rd Edition (ISBN: 1-4051-0309-4) Effective project management involves the assessment and management of risk.
