BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

COSTING AND ESTIMATION

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of costing and estimation within the construction industry. Divided into two modules, the course explores fundamental concepts and advanced techniques crucial for effective project management.

Module 1: Fundamentals of Costing in Construction
This module introduces the essential elements of costing, including the differentiation between direct and indirect costs, and the significance of contingency budgeting. Students will learn how to allocate costs accurately, the importance of a well-structured cost framework, and the various methods of cost estimation, including top-down and bottom-up approaches. The module emphasizes the critical role of accurate costing in ensuring project profitability and financial planning.

Module 2: Advanced Estimation Techniques
Building on the fundamentals, this module delves into advanced estimation processes, including detailed estimates and bid preparation. Students will explore the integration of technology in estimation, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and estimating software, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, the module addresses risk management in estimation, equipping students with strategies to identify, quantify, and mitigate potential cost-related risks.

Throughout the course, students engage in discussions and assignments that encourage practical application of the concepts learned. By the end of the course, participants will possess the skills to conduct thorough cost analyses, prepare accurate estimates, and implement effective cost management strategies, ultimately contributing to the successful execution of construction projects.

MATHEMATICS

This course provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental mathematical concepts essential for academic success and practical applications in everyday life. Designed for students with varying levels of mathematical background, the course covers key areas including algebra, geometry, statistics, and calculus.

Course Objectives:

  • Algebra: Understand variables, expressions, equations, and functions. Students will solve linear and quadratic equations and explore inequalities.
  • Geometry: Gain insights into shapes, sizes, and the properties of space. Topics include angles, polygons, circles, and three-dimensional figures, along with the application of the Pythagorean theorem.
  • Statistics: Learn to collect, analyze, and interpret data. Students will explore measures of central tendency, variability, probability, and the basics of statistical inference.
  • Calculus: Introduce fundamental concepts of limits, derivatives, and integrals. Students will apply these concepts to solve problems involving rates of change and area under curves.
