TOP REVIEWS FROM CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
A fantastic course, whether or not previous knowledge was there the course really pushes the student to understand the concepts in their own manner. Perfect addition to my skill set, Thank you.
As I'm not a Construction Manager or Project Manager, I'm an owner for my first housing project. I've found the course to be just what I needed covering the basics ang slowly getting more in depth.
Professor Ibrahim Odeh has put a lot of work into this stuff, and it shows.
As a student of building technology, I feel like this course has given me a lot more awareness and experience.
Very good introduction to outline the difference in project mgmt, programme mgmt and construction mgmt. Enough detail on various aspects for CM including type of contracts, technology and planning.
