Course Information

Gain advanced MS Project skills for practical use in civil engineering projects with this free online course.

Building projects require careful planning to succeed. In the construction world, experts use computer programs like Microsoft(MS) Project to do this. This course aims to equip civil engineers with expert-level proficiency in Microsoft Project. From foundation activities to advanced MS Project functionalities for efficient project reporting and analysis, you’ll gain the practical skills you need to succeed in the real world.

First, we cover the scheduling of ground floor activities like masonry, lintel beams, and ceiling plastering. This includes incorporating finishing elements like plumbing and painting into the schedule. Subsequently, you’ll learn how to change critical activities and shorten project duration, enabling you to manage project timelines with flexibility. Detailed guidance is provided on loading the bill of quantities (BOQ) onto resources, covering each stage from footing work to building superstructures. Additionally, a detailed demonstration of resource sheet loading for finishing activities ensures a thorough understanding of resource allocation.

Furthermore, we offer guidance on tracking project progress and employing MS Project techniques for seamless project planning and execution. This course offers a resource section with downloadable files to support your learning, but successful completion of “MS Project for Civil Engineer Entry Level Proficiency” is a prerequisite for enrollment. After completing this course, you’ll be well-versed in using MS Project to handle complex civil engineering projects. Enrol today and start building your success!

Course Information: Building Confidence from the Ground Up

This free online construction Certificate course provides a comprehensive understanding of how to estimate foundation and superstructure costs in civil engineering projects. Accurate estimation is a crucial step in any construction process, as it helps in planning, selecting suitable materials, managing labour, and choosing the right technologies to execute a project effectively.

A stable foundation is the core of any structure, determining its strength, durability, and long-term performance. The superstructure, consisting of floor and roof decks as well as vertical and horizontal structural elements, relies on the foundation’s stability. This course explains how to estimate the quantities and costs of both foundations and superstructures, giving learners the skills to make accurate and efficient project plans.

After following this course, learners will explore the importance of cost planning and estimation and understand how these techniques support decision-making regarding a project’s feasibility and scope. The course covers detailed estimation methods for various foundation types, including strip, individual footing, and raft foundations. Learners will also analyze general construction costs and learn how to estimate expenses for both low-rise and high-rise buildings.

Core Quantity Estimation Skills Will Master:

✓
Step-by-step guidance on calculating concrete quantities for sloped and stepped footings.
✓
Estimating plinth beam PCC and determining plinth backfilling quantities.
✓
Measuring and estimating costs for the ground floor, first floor, and roof components.
✓
Comprehensive coverage of superstructure components: columns, beams, slab centering, shuttering, and concrete works.
✓
Calculating concrete and shuttering costs for complex elements like staircases.
