CMT 100 — Construction Management I
A broad introduction to project management and the overall construction project lifecycle; from initiation through project completion and closeout. Based on this information, the role of a project manager and the skills required to manage a construction project successfully are considered. Topics include formal and informal communication formats, the design and construction process, types of contracts, responsibilities of project participants, contract documents, schedules, payments, building codes, and safety. Formal and informal communication are addressed through a series of spoken and written assignments culminating in a written report. This class represents a macro view, and subsequent classes delve into the additional detailed skills required of project managers.
