Handbook

Management of Construction Organisations covers a framework for studying the principles of management in organisations and their application in practice, particularly in the context of construction organisations. Management is the process of planning, organising, leading, and controlling the work of organisational members and the use of available resources to achieve specific goals effectively and efficiently. In this course, you will explore how organisations are structured appropriately to the needs of the market, how leadership provides organisational vision and overall direction and how managers play a role in utilising an organisation’s resources (people, processes, systems, and tools) for success. In addition, you will learn about contemporary issues relating to the management of the construction industry, such as sustainability, construction defects, professional ethics, and Construction 4.0.
