Objectives of the Course The aim of this course is to determine the similarities and differences for the definition and the content of the term "project" for the construction industry and the other industries. To indicate that the project and building management is a system work and to define the subsystems and the processes of the building construction. To specify the importance of the productivity increasing techniques and giving information related to productivity increasing techniques to compete with the other organizations in the industry. Defining the importance of the construction site and techniques to manage a construction site. At the end of the course by teaching planning and programming techniques it is aimed to give a general perspective for the building and project management course.
Contents of the Course To analyse the terms project, construction and management. To define the properties of building construction industry with the comparisons to industrial production. To analyse the building construction process as a system and define its sub systems. To evaluate the terms productivity, effectiveness and efficiency by determining the usage of them within the building construction industry. To define planning and programming techniques with practical examples.
