Programme Highlights
This is one of the programme's most important modules for professionals seeking to understand the future of digital construction. It develops practical knowledge of BIM, interdisciplinary teamwork, collaborative design, information management and digital collaboration across the construction lifecycle. Students work with scenario-based projects and technical activities designed to develop their understanding of BIM standards, policies, client requirements and collaborative working. For Caribbean construction professionals, this is particularly valuable as BIM and digital information management become increasingly important for large-scale commercial buildings, infrastructure, property development and public-sector projects.
This module develops the management foundations required to lead construction organisations and projects effectively. It examines the relationship between organisational structures, people management, finance, construction contracts, procurement and strategic decision-making. Students explore leadership, motivation, HR management, financial analysis, asset management and contract selection, while considering stakeholder responsibilities and procurement strategies. The module is particularly relevant to Caribbean professionals who want to move from technical or operational positions into construction-management and leadership roles.
This module focuses on managing complex construction projects from a strategic perspective. Students develop knowledge of scope, time, cost, quality, risk management, stakeholder integration and project processes, while learning to apply critical thinking to real-world construction situations. The module is particularly valuable for professionals managing multiple stakeholders—including developers, government agencies, contractors, consultants, communities and financial institutions—on Caribbean construction and infrastructure projects.
This module addresses some of the most important emerging issues affecting the global construction industry: innovation, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, sustainability and carbon reduction. Students explore how new technologies can improve project costing, delivery and safety while considering the industry's responsibility to reduce carbon emissions. For Caribbean markets, the combination of digital construction and sustainability is especially relevant to resilient infrastructure, energy-efficient buildings, climate-conscious development and the modernisation of construction practices.
The 60-credit Research Project is the largest component of the programme and provides students with an opportunity to undertake an independent, in-depth investigation into a specialised construction-related topic. Students develop research questions, review literature, select appropriate research methodologies, collect and analyse information, and produce a professional research report. This provides an opportunity for Caribbean students to investigate issues directly relevant to their own markets—for example, construction productivity, BIM adoption, sustainable buildings, infrastructure development, construction risk, climate resilience, procurement or digital transformation in the Caribbean construction industry.
