Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

After the course, you will not only know the basics of construction project management, the essential regulations on construction contract law, the necessary general construction law topics and applicable legal regulations, but also master the step-by-step calculation of construction costs according to DIN 276 in combined application with the DIN 277 standard and the Ordinance on Fees for Architectural and Engineering Services (HOAI). You will also be familiar with BIM structures as well as the terms and methodological principles of BIM and will be able to make well-founded planning decisions based on these. You will also be able to assess risks and take measures to meet all the technical and organizational requirements of a company in the area of environmental protection.

The course is aimed at people with knowledge of (civil) engineering or architecture as well as specialists from related sectors with appropriate professional experience.

As a construction manager, you are responsible for mediating and communicating between clients and contractors and ensuring the smooth realization of the construction project. You will find employment in construction companies, with supply and installation companies, in architectural and engineering offices and with property developers. Construction managers are also in demand in local authorities and with state and federal authorities.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.
