Brief description

The efficient handling of construction projects is an important part of corporate management and construction site organization. Core elements here are knowledge of the schedule, the individual processes of construction handling, and the planning and control of material movements within a company and between the company and its environment. In this context, the construction industry is increasingly focused on avoiding waste, which is referred to as lean construction in reference to lean management in the construction industry. In the construction management context, knowledge of processes, task management, scheduling and construction site logistics, among others, are of particular importance here. Only by knowing these influencing factors is it generally possible to achieve a positive construction site result. In order to be able to assess whether a construction site result is positive, controlling of the execution is required. The students learn the basics of logistics and the procedure for setting up a construction site controlling.

Knowledge Broadening

Students who have successfully studied this module understand the interrelationships of efficient planning of construction execution. They know the reasons for scheduling as the basis for targeted controlling of construction execution. They know the reasons for a process-oriented view of activities, as well as the digitalization that builds on this. They understand the targeted handling of tasks to be completed in the context of networked working and the handling of information to avoid errors or time losses during execution. They understand the importance of looking at individual work processes.
