This course includes 10 focused modules that explain the role and responsibilities within construction management and cost estimation:

• Module 01 introduces the basics of construction management and its place in the project cycle.
• Module 02 provides cost estimation methods, types (preliminary, detailed), and when they are used in a project.
• Module 03 explores the role of a cost estimator and how their analysis supports project decisions.
• Module 04 looks into key cost-influencing factors such as material prices, site conditions, labour, inflation, and overheads.
• Module 05 connects estimation techniques specifically to the construction sector, including case scenarios.
• Module 06 covers cost control tools such as budgeting, earned value analysis, and cost-benefit methods.
• Module 07 explains how risk impacts cost and how to forecast, manage, and minimise those risks.
• Module 08 focuses on material procurement, inventory planning, supplier relationships, and waste reduction.
• Module 09 takes the learner deeper into techniques like JIT (Just-in-Time), BIM-assisted procurement, and sustainable material sourcing.
• Module 10 presents modern software and tools used in cost estimation, such as MS Project, AutoCAD estimates, and BIM.

This course is highly effective for those working or aspiring to work in the construction sector. It supports career progression by helping learners better control project costs, contribute to successful tendering, and increase accuracy in forecasting.
