Material Detail

"Construction Management Explained: Projects, Planning & Engineering Execution Systems" is an open educational curriculum module authored by Prep4Uni.Online. It provides an in-depth operational and analytical framework for the planning, scheduling, budgeting, and safe execution of complex infrastructure and building projects.

The module establishes five foundational pillars of construction oversight—Project Management, Cost Estimation, Critical Path Scheduling, QA/QC, and Safety Management (OSHA/ISO 45001)—and examines nine specialized sub-disciplines including Sustainable Construction, Construction Law & Contracts, VDC/BIM, and Lean Construction. It features an interactive client-side Earned Value Management (EVM) visualizer tool, a systems engineering trade-off comparison of project delivery systems (DBB, DB, CMAR, IPD), a fully worked Critical Path Method (CPM) forward/backward pass and float calculation, and three levels of formative assessment problems. Available online as an interactive webpage and as a permanently archived, DOI-indexed PDF via Zenodo.
