Written (LO3 and LO4)
In this assessment learners will produce an organisational chart/programme, mapping the relationships of the parties within the construction management team and evaluate the importance of sub-contractors within the construction industry. They will generate the contract programme for a given construction project; highlighting costing, budget, profit.

This module is designed to focus on factors that are involved in the relationship between the complexity of large construction projects and the corresponding management strategies required to plan, organise, and co-ordinate this projects. The module also supports students to be able to analyse and perform Health & Safety management in accordance with new and existing legislation and construction contracts, as well as understand and discuss on the impact of legislation on issues revolving around construction management.
During completion of work students will look at relationships within teams, organisations and individuals involved in construction projects- with considerations around equality and diversity- respect for individuals and their beliefs, consideration of workloads and impact on mental health and wellbeing, access to sites, clear communication that is respectful and how these are important to making sure that projects are achieved, focusing on common goals.
