Institute of Technology, Mechanisation and Construction Management (TST)

Students learn about the structure of itemized budget and its further division into basic and minor itemized budget. Students have understanding of the calculation formula and therefore are able to calculate new items. Students are capable of processing a budget according to basic budget rules. The student learns the skill to work with BUILpower software designed for budget calculations. Other skills acquired are the principles of network analysis, the ability to create a network graph and calculate the critical path. The acquired complex skill allows the student to create a construction technology model of the building process, the use of many different links concerning the modelling of the building process. Students learn how to work with CONTEC software.

Excellent knowledge of common construction processes, at least some knowledge of special techniques and technologies, knowledge and understanding of project documentation and its content.

Principles of construction contract project management, quality assurance, solving of construction technology project, knowledge of construction equipment and their suitable use, performance of the construction equipment and principles of their productivity.

The basic teaching methods are: lectures with the explanation of basic principles, methodology, problems and their solutions in the form of presentations with demonstrations emphasizing critical points. Follow-up seminars focus on practical use of the knowledge acquired during lectures. It consists of individual projects under the guidance of the tutor.

The main criterion for credit is active participation during the seminars, i.e. no more than two absences during the course, and all the tasks assigned individually must be properly fulfilled. Students must submit an itemized budget of a given technological phase in the building process and a time plan reflected as a network graph using computer tools.

1. Production classification in reference to the SW tools for cost calculation and time planning
2. Possibilities of Build-Power, Oferta, Kros and Koral system application in contracting of execution and the construction execution
3. Movement of materials, ancillary budgetary costs and their importance during budget preparation
4. Individual calculations
5. Modelling of construction execution, use of the CONTEC programme
6. Activities in network graphs, Critical Path Method
