The construction industry has always required efficient technical and financial project administrators, and this need is even greater in today’s financial climate. Projects must run efficiently on all fronts, and managers must be able to plan, execute and supervise jobs with professional skill in areas where each new technological advance creates a need for new techniques, methods and equipment.

The main aim of this program is to prepare graduates for future roles in managing people, equipment, materials, technological processes and funds in the construction, building and maintenance of buildings and assets in the civil infrastructure. This aim is facilitated by the study of advanced management and engineering techniques in the fields of construction, building and maintenance.

The program aims to develop the following:

skill at allocation of materials resources, and in organisation and leadership of people
knowledge of available methods and technologies in assessing the in-service performance of infrastructure and maintenance practices
an understanding of the financial considerations and the risks involved in project funding
an awareness of cultural impacts on construction sites, particularly on offshore projects
an ability to plan construction, building and maintenance operations and to forecast resource needs
an appreciation of contractual obligations and risks and legal requirements
an understanding of the requirements of quality management
an understanding of the construction and building Industry
an awareness of environmental impacts of construction projects
an ability to communicate effectively within a project setting
research and analytical skills and an appreciation of the associated uncertainties and challenges and influence of non-technical factors on engineering decision making
