Project Management in Building Construction

Presentation

The objective of the Project Management in Building Construction course is to train a professional figure expert in the processes related to the built environment, capable of operating in the design, realization, and management of public and private works in all phases of the construction process.
The training of this professional figure, which complements the figure of the designer, is a response to the labor market's demand for figures with more technical-managerial skills, able to elaborate on the increasing complexity of the administrative, technical, and economic phases of the project and its preliminary phases.

This preparation will enable them to analyze and understand the physical, historical, and sociocultural, formal, environmental, functional, technological, and economic characteristics of the architectural organism and settlement structures, in relation to their historical origins and current context, and to detect them, analyzing the specific characteristics of materials, technological solutions of the architectural organism, and physical and functional characteristics for settlement structures in a sustainability perspective.
