Students will learn practical strategies for improving productivity and controlling jobsite costs. The course explores methods supervisors can use to monitor project performance\, manage time effectively\, and keep construction projects running efficiently.This class specifically focuses on construction cost and applies principles and practices associated with cost awareness and production control to different elements of a project. Cost control begins with the estimate then cost analysis\, production scheduling\, reporting\, production control and ends with project evaluation. The information will be studied by solving common construction problems\, the consideration of case studies and discussion of common cost control issues.This is one of the courses that counts toward the Certificates in Construction Practices\, Project Management\, and Construction Supervision: Building. This class is 100% online. Students should expect to spend 3-5 hours a week on course work from September 14 - November 22\, 2026.Course modules will be made available to students on Sunday of each week. Class work must be completed before the following Monday. Students will not be able to work ahead of the class although reading assignments will be made available in advance. Students should provide at least 3 contributions to the class discussions each week to gain the maximum points.Learning Objectives:Understand the estimating and quantity take-off process and how they are associated with construction cost controlBe able to evaluate subcontractors and participate in the subcontractor selection processLearn how to increase productivity by using labor and equipment efficientlyGain additional insight into the process of planning labor crews and preparing for labor costsLearn several techniques for managing subcontractors at the job siteUnderstand how to the evaluate project after completion and determine strategies for future projectsLearn about schedule acceleration methods and how to apply themBe familiar with the content of a typical construction estimateKnow who has responsibilities for cost control and understand the risks associated with construction contractingUnderstand the general relationship among project estimating\, productivity planning\, measurement\, project planning\, scheduling and project controlKnow how to identify labor cost problems and solve the problems using project cost dataLearn strategies for using cost control data to influence the work and minimize negative cost impactsKnow how to participate in a project debriefing and understand the value associated with debriefingLearn how the schedule is used as documentation for changes and disputesStudents will purchase the textbook\, STP Unit 5 Participants Manual: Improving Productivity and Managing Project Costs.\nThe deadline to receive a refund for event registration is (7) seven business days before the event.
