Introduction

In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.

This is an optional subject aimed at providing a direct insight into the construction process through visits to various construction sites.

Pre-course requirements

To qualify for taking this course, students should have passed the following courses: Construction 1, Construction 2, Construction 3 and Construction 4.

In addition, enrolled students must have their own camera equipment, a white hard hat and officially approved work shoes to comply with current Health and Safety regulations for construction sites.

Objectives

The objectives of the course are on the one hand to learn about the site management process and on the other to learn about construction by watching it in situ.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be expected to know about the structuring and the processes that take place during the execution of a project, the role of the project or site manager, and which other professionals are involved and their roles and responsibilities.

Teaching and learning activities

In person

The course includes both theory and practical sessions. The theory part of the course provides knowledge for understanding the site management process and information that determines the site visit.

The main activity is a guided visit of several construction sites where, along with the architect who is acting as the project/site manager, students will be able to see the various construction processes in action.

The practical part of the course consists of producing a photographic report during the site visit, concentrating on the construction solutions being used, and then afterwards going into detail of the construction based on this report. 

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person

Given the nature of the course, failure to attend the scheduled site visits will result in an automatic fail grade. Therefore the evaluation criteria will include attendance at site visits as well as the grade for the practical assignments.
