Management Principles and Application for Construction and the Built Environment

Aim This unit provides learners with an opportunity to understand management principles and their application to the construction and built environment sector. Unit abstract This unit introduces learners to the principles and application of management as they relate to the technical and professional disciplines of construction, civil engineering and building services engineering. It is based on the principles of the Latham Report of 1994, which advocated nonadversarial, multi-disciplinary teamworking. Learners will gain an understanding of how these principles may be applied to the management of construction, building services engineering or civil engineering activities through the application of recognised management techniques.
