The aims of the module are to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of the role of research in overcoming knowledge gaps.
• Synthesise information from a number of sources in order to gain a coherent understanding of a complex problem.
• Undertake the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a complex problem in a specialised area relating to their degree.
• Present rational arguments and draw independent conclusions based on a rigorous approach to collecting and analysing data.

The aim of this module is to integrate the knowledge and skills building from the programme of the study into the application of real-live project scenario. This module will combine individual and group work across disciplines to tackle tasks relating to the project scenario.

The aims of this module are for the student to develop an understanding of modern methods of construction (MMC), offsite and modular construction, construction innovation, advanced construction techniques, technologies, and materials, including the management and technological aspects of large scale complex contemporary construction projects. Understand modern approaches to conservation, the technology used in old buildings, common forms of defects in buildings and repair techniques used. The strategies and techniques used in maintaining, converting, and refurbishing buildings will be explained.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with an opportunity to develop and deepen their knowledge of, and connections between: management theories, practice and competencies.

The module is a unique combination of developing and deepening students understanding of their own management competencies, theoretical grasp of theory (leadership, teamwork, motivation, power and communication) and a fantastic opportunity to engage in experiential learning over three very challenging, problem solving days within an outdoor environment. Developing and then combining knowledge of management competencies, theory and practice with the opportunity to experience and self-reflect upon their connections is unique within this module.

The aims of this module are: to help students understand the concept of cost estimating and planning as pre-contract activities, and as defined by NRM1 and other relevant standards; to help students appreciate the principles, practices and resulting actions informed by whole life costing, including life cycle costing, all as defined by NRM3 and other relevant standards; and to help standard appreciate the interplay of construction costs, renewal costs, operating costs, maintenance costs, and end of life costs, including the balancing actions that may be required between these cost centres in built asset design, operating and disposal strategies.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand a range of accounting and financial topics important to managers in the construction and related industries.

This is a practical module designed for students to develop the skills required for efficient planning, risk management, and coordination using Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools and processes and digital tools for visualisation.

Students will learn about BIM Execution Plans (BEP); assess the quality of 3D design of moderate complexity using native authoring tools, plan, simulate, coordinate and communicate in a common data environment (CDE) in accordance with ISO 19650. Students will also learn to produce and dynamically associate the required 4D BIM (schedule) and 5D (cost) data; and be exposed to coordination, simulation and communication technologies required by ISO19650.

The aim of this module is for the student to develop knowledge and understanding of the substantive and administrative provisions of the NEC4 ECC standard form of construction contract in the context of English common law, case law and statute.

The aim of this module is for students to acquire the knowledge and practical skills necessary to select and deploy appropriate digital technologies to support the effective and sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings and infrastructures from the lifecycle and multi-stakeholder perspectives.
