Field Operations and Project Controls: Estimating, Scheduling and Compliance for Organisations is a five-day programme that equips facility, quality, and engineering professionals across GCC organisations with the knowledge and frameworks to estimate, schedule, and control construction projects across design, construction, and closeout. Delivered through an integrated blend of a globally recognise
•How an estimate evolves over the life of a project, from planning through design
•Differentiating estimate types used for small and large construction projects
•Applying engineering judgement to refine estimates as project information develops
•Comparing estimate accuracy across project phases and stakeholder needs
•Using estimates to support facility and quality decision-making
Activity: Estimate comparison, participants compare estimate types against a project's planning and design stage
•The uses of schedules and the main types of scheduling methods
•How scheduling supports building a project on paper before committing resources
•Using schedules as a communication tool across facility, quality, and engineering teams
•Sequencing activities and dependencies to protect project milestones
•Applying scheduling discipline to reduce delay and rework risk
Activity: Schedule build, participants sequence activities and dependencies for a sample project
•Building a control dashboard to track cost, time, and quality together
•Using control data to support timely decision-making and corrective action
Activity: Control-cycle mapping, participants map a control cycle for cost, time, or quality on a current project
•The project control cycle: identifying goals, measuring results, analysing, and adjusting
•How construction teams report results and close out control cycles at project end
•Applying quality-management discipline to cost, time, and quality control cycles
•The administrative tools used to manage, control, and document construction management
•Construction law, dispute resolution methods, and important safety procedures
•Jobsite administration, recordkeeping, and the rules that govern construction management processes
•Applying recordkeeping discipline to support quality audits and compliance
•Building administrative procedures that support clear accountability and documentation
•Embedding safety and health procedures into everyday field operations
Activity: Administration and safety audit, participants assess documentation and safety procedures against good-practice benchmarks
•Translating estimating, scheduling, and control insight into a field operations leadership agenda
•Aligning cost, schedule, quality, and administrative practice into one approach
•Consolidating estimating, scheduling, and control priorities into one portfolio plan
•Defining the first 90 days of action; peer review and facilitator feedback
Activity: Produce a one-page field operations roadmap for your portfolio and complete edX assessments for the certificate
