Study Guide

Objectives

This is a continuation of the previously completed course "Basics of Construction". In this course, students delve into the tasks of electrical building services during the implementation phase of construction projects. Upon completing the course, students will be able to:

• Define the roles and tasks of building services at various stages of a construction project.
• Describe the phases of building services contracts, parties involved, and key tasks in project management.
• Identify responsibilities related to electrical contracts.
• Perform tendering, pricing, and cost estimation for various types of building services contracts.
• Determine sufficient personnel resources based on the nature and schedule of the project.
• Develop site scheduling and procurement plans and utilize project management tools.
• Describe essential product safety considerations in procurement.
• Name and describe typical installations in an electrical contract.
• Identify inspections carried out during and at the handover phase of an electrical contract.
