Transcription

1 Surveying and Setting Out EBB_4_040 Tuesday and Thursday (Tues) and 1pm 4pm (Thurs) UK LEVEL: 4 This module will provide an overview of the theory and practice of surveyingthe students will be introduced to basic surveying principles and techniques and develop a working knowledge of the use standard techniques and equipment. The module provides an explanation of basic principles of surveying, levelling, setting out of building works together with angular measurements using modern total stations, fieldwork and computations associated with levelling, dimensional control and positioning. Building Survey and Inspection EBB_4_050 Tuesday UK LEVEL: 4 Building Survey and Inspection, or reasonable equivalent This unit focuses on three areas of work; Design Principles, Basic CAD and Technology.

2 Architectural Design & Technology EBB_4_060 Tuesday UK LEVEL: 4 A unit to provide a broad and critical perspective on planning and construction as well as an understanding of the context within which planning and construction decisions are made and implemented. Cost Planning and Tender Process EBB_5_100 Thursday 1pm 4pm This unit focuses on the range of techniques used by building surveying professionals in the undertaking of different types of surveys on commercial and large residential properties. It also focuses on the development of planned maintenance programmes and reviews financial controls and planned roll out programmes of work, facility and asset management, building and fire safety legislation, post occupancy legislation incl. the Party Wall etc. Act.

3 Construction Planning EBB_5_150 Monday Production Management, Construction Technology & Materials, Construction Technology & Structures, or equivalent The module focuses on the time planning of the production phase in the construction of buildings and the need to complete the project within an agreed time span, to an appropriate quality and to an agreed cost using appropriate resources. It develops a working knowledge of the classical planning / time programming techniques and the associated analytical skills to develop strategies that fulfil these requirements. The basic elements of time programming, monitoring and controlling the production process are taught centred on the traditional Precedence method. The principle of Activity on Arrow is also reviewed. Human and Plant resources and their related costs are linked to programme for further analysis.the traditional context of Line of Balance for manufacture will be discussed and it s further adaptation in the form of Elemental Trend Analysis and Time Chainage for the Building and Civil Engineering industries will be taught.precedence and Line of Balance are brought together to illustrate the principle of Location Based Management Trade Flow programming. The computer programme Prima Vera will be used to summate the above classical time resource -cost programme. (Vico software may be demonstrated for Trade flow subject to licence renewal). Students should also recognise alternatives such as Power Project and Microsoft Project.Advances on critical path may be developed to include the principles of Project Cash flow, Pert Time and Pert Cost. Oracle (Primavera supports Risk analysis software). Aspects of the philosophy of BIM is introduced by the provision of two Revit software based 3D Models which the student will use to prepare their coursework. Interrogation of these models will enable the student to understand the information that may start to be supplied to the contractor by the design team.

4 3D CAD & Building Information Modelling EBB_5_160 Monday 1pm 4pm The legal content of the unit introduces the sources of and basic rules of UK law, including common law and statute law as it affects construction and property professionals. It provides an introduction to construction contract law, tort and restitution law as it affects professionals. It explains the differences between common law and equity and criminal law and their relevance to construction and property professionals. It establishes the legal and ethical framework of Health and Safety regulation. The economics content of the unit introduces the students to micro and macro economics, and examines the theoretical and empirical framework of economics including price formation, the theory of the firm, degrees of competition, Government economic objectives, monetary policy, behavioural economics, contract theory, inflation and unemployment. Planning and Development Controls EBB_5_180 Thursday 4pm 7pm This unit examines the various types of construction contracts, including families of standard construction contracts, and the common law and legislation and administrative procedures which govern them. It provides a working knowledge and understanding of construction contract legal problems, and related applicable law, such as non-contractual liabilities. It examines when a dispute arises in legal terms, and how dispute resolution methods may be employed to resolve problems and disputes.

5 Estate and Property Asset Management EBB_5_200 Monday This unit introduces the concepts of Building Information Modelling (BIM through the development of architectural 3D models on industry standard parametric CAD systems. The unit covers the practical competence of architectural modelling and provides exposure on co-ordinating building information models. Management of Organisation EBB_5_230 Thursday and 1pm 4pm The Module provides an analytical approach to understanding organisations, how they are organised and typical cultures; the management of work groups and the roles of the individual in a work setting. Communication and leadership. It considers the development of management theory, through the Classical Schools of thought up to the present day. A second theme introduces elements of human resource management, notably resource planning; recruitment; appraisal; dismissal; redundancy and industrial relations with particular reference to the construction industry.the Module provides a broad basic knowledge expected to be implicit in the general management of the firm; in organisational management and in particular, construction, project and production management operations.

6 Technology 2 EBB_5_511 Friday 5pm 6pm This unit focuses on the principles and application of Surveying in construction industry using both traditional and modern Surveying technology including the establishment of horizontal/vertical control and basic setting out techniques and processes. Corporate Management and Finance EBB_6_040 Friday 2pm 5pm UK LEVEL: 6 Intro to Finance This unit focuses on introducing students to the various principles of law and valuation which are relevant to surveyors working in the construction and property industries.

7 Property Law and Valuations EBB_6_120 Friday 2pm 5pm UK LEVEL: 6 An academic background in construction This module focuses on introducing students to the various principles of law and valuation which are relevant to surveyors working in the construction and property industries.
