Purpose and Background

Construction industry is the sector of economy which plans,
designs, constructs, alters, maintains, repairs and eventually
demolishes building of all kinds, civil engineering works,
mechanical and electrical structures and other similar works.
Construction industry provides a means of transforming
aspirations for the social and economic well-being of a nation
into reality by providing housing, industrial and infrastructure
facilities and thus creating an environment conducive to raising
the standard of living.
The impact of modern construction engineering and management
practices is known to be significant on the economy. These
advanced practices when properly implemented have a very
positive affect on the overall economical development of any
country. Unfortunately the importance of construction
management is still not realized in Pakistani Professional
Engineering Circles. PEC short course is being organized to
address issues and to promote advanced construction
management practices for creating awareness among industry
professionals about their efficacy.

Learning Objectives & benefits:

The course is designed to promote state-of-the-art construction
management techniques and practices. It will help to identify
problems of local industry, suggest remedial techniques and
create awareness among managers, contractors, consultants,
government agencies, development organization and academia.
Specifically, the course will emphasize on:
To get the basic understanding of the construction
industry of Pakistan and its development sectors ;
To familiarize the participants about application of
project management/construction management functions;
To give participants a broad introduction to the subject of
contract management to manage operations at construction
sites;
To improve understanding of systematic risk
management in construction projects for effective decision
making;
To ensure timely delivery of construction projects by
incorporating proper planning, scheduling, resource allocation
and levelling to avoid time and cost overruns in projects;

concepts of total quality management and occupational health
and safety management, and their implementation in construction
projects
To develop creativity in thinking about construction
