The class will offer a mix of theory, analytic tools, and practical experiences/real-life examples.

Development and Construction Project Management

Taking the project from inception to an on-time, under-budget closeout, the tools and techniques for successfully leading an eclectic group of consultants and subcontractors, managing budgets, conflicts and schedules are studied in detail. Going far beyond the secrets of successful scheduling, this course adopts the best practices of managing large projects from the infrastructure, IT, and heavy industrial manufacturing industries, and applies them to real estate development and construction projects.
