Did you know that managing cost for a construction project is equally important as managing time? It allows you to make decisions that will enable you to maximize resources. This interactive online course covers the various elements of the project cost cycle, starting with the estimate and moving through the project to collection of actual unit costs to be incorporated into the company cost database for use in starting the cycle again for a future project. We will also review the relationship between time and money. Although the details of a specific cost-control system vary substantially from one construction firm to another, the ensuing treatment can be regarded as being reasonably typical of current practice within the construction industry.
