Description

Course Description:

This comprehensive course provides in-depth knowledge and practical strategies for effective cost control and management in high-rise construction projects, focusing specifically on G+45 buildings and beyond. Designed for project managers, cost estimators, and construction professionals, this course covers every critical aspect of cost management from budgeting and estimation to cash flow management and value engineering.

Through real-world scenarios, detailed explanations, and hands-on tools, you'll learn how to set up robust cost control systems, track and monitor expenses across all phases, and tackle common challenges such as cost overruns and unexpected variations. You'll also explore how to optimize procurement strategies, manage subcontractor costs, and ensure financial alignment with the project budget.

Key Topics Covered:

• General Cost Control: Understanding the role of cost control, setting up systems, and tackling challenges specific to high-rise buildings.
• Budgeting and Estimation: Learn how to prepare accurate budgets and estimates, account for inflation, and manage discrepancies between estimates and actual costs.
• Monitoring and Tracking: Master the use of software tools like Excel and Primavera to monitor costs daily and track key performance indicators (KPIs) effectively.
• Procurement and Contracts: Optimize procurement strategies, manage subcontractor agreements, and maintain transparency in contract negotiations.
• Cash Flow Management: Discover strategies for managing cash flow across different project phases, ensuring timely payments, and maintaining financial health.
• Risk Management: Explore techniques for identifying, managing, and mitigating cost-related risks during construction.
• Value Engineering: Learn how to apply value engineering principles to save costs without compromising on quality.
• Reporting and Documentation: Understand how to prepare detailed cost control reports, track variations, and ensure all costs are properly documented for audits.
• Quality Control and Cost Management: Balance cost control with quality assurance, managing costs related to defects, repairs, and inspections.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to control and manage costs at every stage of a high-rise construction project, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.
