Construction Management
Bachelor of Science (Honours) Ab Initio
What is the programme about?
Construction Management is all about managing the construction process and meeting the needs of clients
within legal, financial and environmental constraints. Construction Managers require a combination of
engineering knowledge, good business and organisation skills and a capacity for leadership in managing the
building process.
You will develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the construction process and the necessary
theoretical knowledge to match solutions to construction problems; the management skills to plan, organise
and manage construction projects and the ability to contribute to the construction process in a manner that
sustains and enhances the natural and the built environments. This includes the responsibility for coordinating
a wide variety of skilled workers and specialists and leading them in the implementation of the plan,
monitoring progress against the required objectives, and making adjustments to ensure that the goals
originally set forth are achieved.
Construction Management graduates are also involved in organising the resources required – labour,
materials, equipment, time and money and translating the work of designers such as architects and engineers
into reality.

abroad, mainly in a management and technical capacity.
