The Modular Construction Methods Training Course at Imperial Corporate Training Institute is a specific programme for professionals in Construction Management to learn about new ways of building structures, using controlled environments and a manufacturing-style approach. While the global Construction Industry continues to shift toward faster and cheaper construction methods, and more sustainable delivery models, there is a growing emphasis on Modular Construction and its impact on the way we plan, create and assemble buildings. The course covers the complete lifecycle of a Modular Building, from the planning and design phases to the fabrication and assembly phases.
The educational experience is heavily focused on understanding prefabricated construction, industrialised building systems and Modular Project Delivery Systems, and improving the productivity of the Modular Construction process, as well as decreasing risk through improved quality control, cost certainty, schedule efficiency, and health and safety outcomes. The structured modules of the course provide strategic and operational training to enable participants to determine when it is appropriate to use Modular Construction Methods, how to manage them successfully, and how to incorporate these methods into their existing Construction Management processes.
Objectives
By the end of this Modular Construction Methods Training Course, participants will be able to:
- To be familiar with the fundamental principles and concepts of modular construction systems.
