Course Description:

Mastering Cost Controlling & Budgeting for Roads and Highways Construction Projects

This comprehensive, hands-on course is designed for civil engineers, road construction managers, and project professionals who want to excel in the financial and operational management of highway projects. Covering the entire project lifecycle—from initial planning and regulatory compliance to audit and final handover—you’ll gain practical skills in cost estimation, budgeting, procurement, risk management, value engineering, and financial reporting, all tailored to the unique requirements of roads and highways construction.

Through a blend of real-world case studies, scenario-based exercises, and downloadable Excel templates, you’ll learn how to apply industry best practices and NHAI guidelines to control costs, minimize overruns, and deliver successful projects. Each module features interactive tools and templates (such as BOQs, EVM trackers, risk registers, and cost-control dashboards) pre-populated with a hypothetical 50km highway project dataset, ensuring you develop skills that are both relevant and immediately applicable.

You’ll also participate in peer collaboration exercises, live mentorship sessions, and capstone simulations, giving you the confidence to manage complex projects and communicate effectively with stakeholders, contractors, and regulatory bodies.

Why This Training Is Essential for Civil Engineers and Road Construction Professionals
