Bridge-In
As we get involved in starting up a new project, we want to ensure we are choosing the right project to have the best impact on making our client’s dreams come true! Within this process, the business problem or opportunity is identified, a solution is defined, a project charter is formed, and a project manager is appointed to build and deliver the solution to the customer or owner. The project team is beginning to form, and key participants are in the early stages of identification. Assumptions are made during this process related to codes, regulations, and policies that will help shape the project trajectory. A key part is then to present a business case to the project sponsor and achieve approval to move forward with the chosen project. These are the key concepts we want to address in this module through the recorded lectures, the readings, and a scenario analysis to help you to think through the concepts discussed.
Lesson 1: The Life Cycle of a Building
The Life Cycle of a Building explores the journey of a construction project from conception to completion. Building on the basics introduced in Module 1: Introduction to Construction Project Management, this lesson delves into the structure and progression of a building’s life cycle, highlighting the distinct phases that a project undergoes. As we progress, we’ll take a closer look at each phase within the project management life cycle, focusing specifically on the nuances and key considerations of managing construction projects.
