This course introduces the types of cost estimation from the conceptual design phase through the more detailed design phase of a construction project. In addition, the course highlights the importance of controlling costs and how to monitor project cash flow. Learners will work on a break-even analysis of construction tasks in a project. The course begins with Professor Odeh providing an overview of what will be covered. Next, learners explore the stages of design in a construction project. Professor Odeh then describes the types of cost estimates in a construction project, and the tools and methods used to create estimates.

The course is very good. But please, upload the excel or pdf to make learning easier. Because some videos are very difficult to see, especially excel form. Thanks.

If you are having an civil engineering background or from the Management background you must right away take this course it was reall helpfu to widen my knowledge.
par JR25 mai 2022
Very informative, and certainly useful info. However, the videos, pictures and recordings are nearly ten years old, and it would be nice if it were more interactive.
