The course gives an overall picture of the construction project manager’s tasks. The students apply knowledge gained in preparatory courses in a real building project. While facing realistic conditions the students are trained in managing a building project. Students should also have a general understanding of different value adding activities and conditions of all involved disciplines.

The course aims to provide the students with skills to plan, organise, conduct and follow up a building project from conceptual design to production planning. After the course the student should be able to
