Specific assessments will be contextualised to reflect the context of relevant practical workplace or employer delivery
Project (LO1,2,3,4)
Throughout this assessment students will explore the relationship between project quality requirements with statutory requirements. They will produce a report that reviews construction information and schedules of defects to ascertain patent defects and the implication for defects liability. They will evaluate the impact of Health & Safety violations on construction projects and recommend training and development strategies to improve performance.

Report (LO5)
In this assessment, students will explain the key legislation and agencies in the planning process, then they will analyse the application of building regulations in low and medium rise residential and commercial buildings.

Through this module students will develop the skills and techniques that are necessary to manage the people and processes of a building site, ensuring the quality of work, safe working practices and the interactions of different ‘trades’.
Topics covered in this module include:
• evaluating construction information,
• monitoring quality,
• identifying and notifying of defects,
• sustainable methods of construction,
• site safety regulations,
• Health & Safety regulations,
• people management,
• performance management,
• site meetings,
• contractor and sub-contractor relations
•
As part of learning activities students will need to ensure that they are actively seeking out updated regulations, laws and amendments along with specification that may impact on construction roles, ensuring that they are aware of the latest sources of information and use this to support the construction processes.

A combination of lectures and practical sessions:
Lectures will introduce key topics and concepts with tutor-assisted practical sessions. In the practical sessions you will get hands-on experience of the principles taught in the lectures. Academic learning will be achieved through reading around the subject area. Module tutors will suggest useful texts, though many others will be suitable and can be found in our e-library. If you require help understanding any of the concepts, you may contact your module tutor for assistance.
