Course Description:	This course gives an overview/background of the advanced construction methods/technologies available in civil engineering, industrial, offshore and building type projects, and the considerations in equipment selection. In a building construction project, the selection of construction method and equipment are important considerations that can affect project execution, productivity, quality, safety and cost. It also introduces the basic design considerations, advanced construction technologies, productivity improvement methods, BIM/VDC implementation and optimization methods related to allocation of resources, transportation, process planning and inventory checking and usage of digital design data.
