15824 - Project Cost Estimate

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the student is able to perform a cost estimate for the construction of a building work or structure; to prepare a metric-estimation of the work.

Course contents

The teaching is ideally placed at the end of the student's education and aims to provide fundamental theoretical and methodological notions for the economic evaluation of projects. The module is part of the integrated course "Construction Sites," which is divided into: "Construction Site Organization" and "Economic Evaluation of Projects."

Objectives

To provide a theoretical and operational knowledge of the tools for assessing the economic and financial feasibility of projects, according to a holistic approach and a multi-level perspective (from the building to the urban level).

Exercise
Development of a bill of quantities related to a definitive building construction project. It is suggested to develop the exercise in working groups.

Readings/Bibliography

Individual study will be carried out mainly on the teaching materials produced by the lecturer and deposited on the online platform. Some of the following texts are recommended for further study of the topics covered:

Teaching methods

Theoretical lectures, presentation of case studies, exercises to be developed in groups.

Assessment methods

The teaching module includes an oral final exam from which the acquired disciplinary knowledge, skills and competencies should be revealed. It is possible to enter the exam with a positive evaluation of the exercise (18/30). The evaluation of the individual teaching module will be expressed in thirtieths as the average of the exercise grade and the oral examination grade. The final grade of the Integrated Course "Construction Sites" will be given by the weighted average with credits from the two teaching modules.
