This software only works on a PC, but is possible for use on a Mac (with modifications and a small cost to students). All details are provided throughout the unit and your tutor will assist you with this during the subject.

This subject enables students to develop construction planning and scheduling techniques. Students will understand how construction projects are monitored and controlled using planning techniques, and how planning interfaces with various aspects of project information.
