3.00 Credits
Introduction to the use of relative technologies for construction applications. Course work combines construction-related software programs and real-world information to generate building design, construction estimates, and project schedules. Study also includes using the personal computer for construction organization duties using word processing, presentation, spreadsheet and database applications. Construction-related business software is used and evaluated.
Prerequisite:
BCM 270 AND BCM 280
-
3.00 Credits
Interpretation and composition of construction documents including bidding documents, contract documents, and project manuals. The function of the specifications from various points of view are analyzed with particular emphasis on how the specifier and contractor relate to the documents. Multiple types of writing exercises develop an understanding of the core concepts as well as provide practice composing construction documents.
Prerequisite:
BCM 115 AND BCM 125 AND ENL 111
-
3.00 Credits
Standard construction estimating from conceptual estimates to project award. Areas of construction estimating from general conditions to punch list items are introduced. Discussion also includes how construction estimating is affected by building codes, zoning regulations, and other constraints. Course work draws upon all acquired knowledge for production of residential and light commercial building estimates.
Prerequisite:
BCM 115 AND BCM 125 AND MTH 180
-
3.00 Credits
This course builds on previous course work and expands the concepts to provide a comprehensive understanding of the construction costing process. The course includes reviewing project selection criteria, quantity take-off, pricing, subcontractor bid analysis, cash flow forecasting, and historical cost analysis. The private and public bidding environments are compared and contrasted
Prerequisite:
BCM 220 AND BCM 240
-
3.00 Credits
Provide basic knowledge of electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Emphasis on advantages and disadvantages of various systems, and how their design and installation integrates into the management of the building process. Particular attention is given to soliciting and managing mechanical and electrical subcontractors.
Prerequisite:
BCM 220 AND BCM 240
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of structural mechanics as they are applied to the design and selection of structural components in residential and commercial building. Topics include how loads and stresses are determined, the proper use of tables to size and select structural members, and how the construction manager can assist the engineer in the solution of structural problems.
Prerequisite:
BCM 270 AND MTH 230 AND PHS 115
-
3.00 Credits
The advanced study of electrical and mechanical systems for commercial, industrial, and municipal facilities. Emphasis is on the advantages and disadvantages of various systems and methods, and how their design, installation, operation, and maintenance are managed. Topics will include the discussion of the management of the estimating, constructing, starting up, and maintaining of process piping, fire suppression, material handling, traditional and alternative electrical energy producing and distributing systems.
Prerequisite:
BCM 305
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a construction management tool. The use of BIM across the construction management profession including preconstruction, construction, commissioning, and facility management. Basic manipulation of models, running of clash detection, and other platform use will be combined with examination of the use of the tools in the industry. Real world examples and case studies will be used to facilitate discussion and learning.
Prerequisite:
BCM 115 AND BCM 125
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to concepts in project planning, scheduling, and control. Emphasis on scheduling theory and the development of network logic diagrams. The development of the project schedule and its relationship to the estimate are included and contractual scheduling requirements are examined.
Prerequisite:
BCM 304 AND BCM 305 AND BCM 309
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth examination of the responsibilities and challenges of a construction job site superintendent. Major topics to be covered include job site planning, scheduling, and coordination; safety responsibilities; jobsite specific estimating, and project documentation requirements. Emphasis will be on developing the critical thinking and communications skills necessary for successful construction jobsite supervision.
Prerequisite:
BCM 304 AND BCM 305 AND MGT 301
