Course Summary
Project management is crucial within construction. Without in-depth management, construction projects can be highly unreliable and potentially extremely dangerous to those involved.
Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning (EPCIC) contracts are the most common contract used within construction, and rightfully so. These contracts provided a detailed outline of the steps that must be taken during projects and are ideal for more complex projects. EPCIC contracts are an essential tool in driving efficient contracting, that will prioritise productivity without compromising health and safety.
Project managers will be responsible for overseeing projects, ensuring that function in alignment with EPCIC from start to finish. They will be responsible for decision-making, controlling project areas, maintaining safety, and encouraging those to work to the ideal industry standards. Being competent with these skills and others will be vital in seeing a project to completion.
- To describe key terms relating to project management.
- To be proficient at using vital project management processes.
- To explain what EPCIC is and its role in project management.
- To produce crucial project management documents.
- To define project outcomes aligned with customer and employee needs.
- To review the core principles of project delivery.
- To identify the eight stages of the delivery process.
- To explain what tasks are completed at each project stage.
- To recognise the importance of commissioning, training, and asset documentation.
- To detail the key components of construction contracts and what constitutes good contract administration.
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world documents relating to project management, such as risk assessments, checklists, contracts, and quality reports, to highlight key information that needs to be included within these.
They will be provided with the best tools in the industry to effectively analyse their examples and conduct learning exercises to identify where mistakes may have risen, and what steps could be taken to resolve them. In group practical activities, participants will work together to create their own project plans in line with an EPCIC contract and include their own risk and value management plans.
