A project case study is an integral part of the course (developed by groups of 5-8 students). The aim of the projects is to help students to apply the content taught in class. The evaluation of the projects will be based on the documentation produced. The project workshop will include classroom discussions supervised by the course instructor and some tutors.

Understand the management of complex construction projects, from an economic, temporal, performance and construction point of view. Use methods and tools pertaining to the Project Management for Construction (WBS, PBS, Gantt). Analyse and understand a building process from the point of view of a CM Define the environmental impact of a Construction Site Knowledge of the building process and the relevant regulations. Properly set up the definition of the project requirements through the drafting of the Employer's Information Requirements. Correctly define the technical specifications to meet the project requirements and specifications. Define the information content of the BIM model for the construction and management phase. Set up the construction project and plan the construction phases in compliance with the regulations in force. Divide the construction site into phases and represent, through the site layouts, the characterizing elements of the operational design. Communicate effectively the results of the exercise through different media (presentations, videos, etc.).

The course has been designed both for online and face-to-face learning, in accordance with the national health situation and governmental recommendations. If there will be the option will be arranged construction site visits and meetings in presence to review the group work.

The students have access to the portal, with lesson material on the individual topics and an updated reference bibliography for each topic covered.

Modalità di esame: Elaborato scritto individuale; Elaborato progettuale in gruppo;

Exam: Individual essay; Group project;

... Delivery of group laboratory work is the prerequisite for taking the exam. Examination procedure: compulsory written test; project work produced in groups. The examination will be conducted in written form and will cover both the theoretical-methodological topics covered in the lessons and the more operational aspects covered during the exercises. The objective is verify the individual skills acquired during the course. The written test with three open questions regarding the topics of the course and an exercise, will take about two hours. No material is allowed during the exam. The final assessment will take into account the outcome of the written examination (done individually) and the results of the exercise (group work). Final grade = 60% written exam grade + 40% exercise grade Criteria for awarding the final grade: passing the exam implies sufficient knowledge of all topics covered in the course. Awards may be given to students who present personal, independently acquired insights and demonstrate the ability to correlate the course content with that of the courses preceding it in the study manifesto.
