Full Project Management for Architects

Architectural practice has always been driven by project-based objectives, deliverables, activities, and tasks. In the 70’s and 80‘s architects, engineers and constructors were instrumental in creating the project management processes, tools and techniques that have been adopted by other industrial sectors around the globe. However, project management practise in architectural office may not have kept up to date with structured approaches. As seen in numerous RFPs, clients are seeking levels of project management proficiency that architecture firms may lack.
 
This course provides a structured approach to managing projects using widely adopted tools and techniques described in the PMBOK® Guides 6^th and 7^th Editions. The course places the PMBOK® Guide ‘s 6^th Edition 10 knowledge areas and 5 process groups, and the 7^th Edition’s project management principles and performance domains into the context of architectural practice.

• work breakdown structures
• schedules
• design project cost estimation and fee proposal development tools
• risk management planning for design projects
