It is necessary for civil engineering and building construction managers and supervisors to understand the basic principles of modern engineering and building construction business management, and to be able to prepare estimates, specifications and job plans. This course seeks to develop these skills in the student.

The course outlines the principles of modern civil engineering and building construction management, and develops skills in the quantities takeoff, the preparation of construction estimates and the preparation of construction programmes. Aspects of contract supervision are examined, including the use of the Australian Standard General Conditions of Contract. The on-site supervision of construction work is covered, including the aspects of job safety and industrial relations.

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. describe and use current practices in job planning and scheduling, contract administration and job control used in civil engineering and building construction;
2. take off quantities from construction plans, prepare estimates, and programme construction works using techniques to balance resources, labour and cash flow;
3. manage a simple engineering or building construction contract which has as its basis a nationally recognised standard General Conditions of Contract;
4. organise a simple construction job effectively in regard to the site management of materials, plant, labour, safety and costs;
5. describe and apply the qualities and attributes required for effective site leadership and supervision.
