Legislation and Standards in Construction

Construction Cost Management

Workplace Project

In this subject you will learn project management concepts, tools and processes used in the formulation, delivery and management of construction projects. Your learning will focus on practical examples and incorporate analysis of construction project case studies. You will develop skills in construction project management processes, project troubleshooting, and formulation of a detailed project plan. This subject will include tutorials and workshops with guest speakers from industry and provide you with the opportunity to consolidate your learnings from other subjects. Note: We recommend completing this unit last as per the recommended study pattern for Diploma of Construction Management (TAS-CMG-DIP).

Complete your construction management studies with a course on project management. You’ll learn the tools and processes used in the industry. Write up a construction project delivery plan as part of your assessments.

In this subject you will learn the principles of cost management for estimating and controlling construction project costs. You will learn about time-variable, value-variable and fixed costs, and how these relate to calculating profits and overheads. Through applied activities, you will develop your skills in analysing and quantifying project scope to identify critical drivers of project costs, interpreting cost reports to compare project expenditure against budgeted costs, and communicating cost information.

In this subject, you will apply the processes of project risk management to construction projects to create authentic risk management documents. You will undertake a risk study on a key aspect of a construction project, conduct a risk and compliance audit, and develop a risk reduction plan. Your focus will be on identifying opportunities for continual improvement in risk and compliance management through the development of practical and contemporary solutions that can be implemented on a real project.This subject also introduces learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, so you have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs.You will be introduced to:- a range of methods, tools, techniques and approaches to practice- principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership in real world scenarios- reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations- ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.

This subject will familiarise you with the legislation framework, Australian standards and codes of practice for construction of buildings and civil structures. Key areas covered will include construction codes, work health and safety, Aboriginal and cultural heritage, and environmental legislation. It is important for paraprofessionals within the building and civil construction industries to correctly identify, interpret and apply these regulatory requirements to construction projects. You will have structured opportunities to develop your literacy in construction standards and legislation through industry-specific case studies and real-world research activities. In conjunction with the discipline theory, this subject introduces learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, so you have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs. You will be introduced to:-a range of methods, tools, techniques and approaches to practice-principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership in real world scenarios-reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations-ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.
