3 Controlling Construction Project Cost, Schedule and Execution in Australia 2014 Clariden Global Executive Education Program Essence: In a recent study published by the Government, Australia is becoming one of the most expensive countries to build. Rising costs has made it imperative for construction costs to be kept in check and for project schedules to be managed on time. This comprehensive 2-day program will equip construction and project professionals with the skills required to ensure effective cost control and planning to aid in their decision making, and for controlling costs overruns in order to deliver construction project on time and within budgeted costs. You will gain on-the-ground industry insights into different types of contracting and procurement strategies, cost planning and budgeting, baseline planning and implications on profitability, resources allocations and resolving conflicts and continuous process improvement measures. Participants will also learn how to apply the integrated cost and schedule control processes using Earned Value Analysis (EVA) techniques on Microsoft Project Interface. At the end of the 2-day program, you will be able to proactively plan for your construction strategy to deliver projects on time and create the most value for your construction dollars while reducing costs. Led by Dr. Hemanta Doloi, a leading authority in the construction industry in Australia, throughout the 2 days, participants will engage in hands-on discussion and prominent case studies and learn to devise strategies for effective financial analysis, cost planning and control in Australia.
