A Project Management Institute, Inc. (PMI)®Registered Training Course
Managing and Supervising Projects, Consultants and Contractors
Developing Supervisory Skills in the Construction Projects
Course Overview
Project management’s primary goal is to maximize the probability of producing a successful project in all its stages. However, the likelihood of project failure is considerable, especially where budgets and timelines are tight. The only way to escape failure is to follow an innovative strategy throughout the planning and construction processes and understand how to organise and manage the right resources to deliver the project according to the correct Scope of work. The goal is to manage the project so that it finishes on time and budget, while still delivering a final product that meets codes, plans, and specifications.
