Major building projects are now so complex that large numbers of different organisations are involved in their completion. These organisations need to be co-ordinated so that, at the planning stage, the designers communicate relevant information to each other and, at the construction stage, the various parties involved work to a co-ordinated plan. This programme is a result of co-operation between the industrial and academic worlds and provides a sound foundation for a management career in the construction industry.
