On this course you will gain insight into the ways that political, social and economic factors influence construction. Through this, you will consider the relationship between these factors and how they are reflected in a project and in the broader economy.
To integrate this knowledge, you will examine projects to evaluate the way that construction economics, combined with societal and political factors, may influence construction costs and procurement route.
This course will be delivered at the South West Skills campus.
As part of your assessment, you will need to:
- Write a report containing 1500 words
- Deliver a 10 minute presentation
