The objective of the construction course within the habilitating master's program is for the student to achieve the following competencies:

1. Material conception of the project in coherence with the architecture, structure, and systems design.
2. Conception of coherent construction details that enhance the architectural ideas of the project.
3. Knowledge of sustainability principles for developing efficient projects.
4. Knowledge and research of material systems, with a critical understanding of industrial means.
5. Knowledge of the current regulatory framework.

COMPETENCIES
Basic and general:
CG1 - Knowledge of research methods and preparation of construction projects.
CG2 - Ability to create architectural projects that meet both aesthetic and technical requirements, as well as the needs of their users, respecting the limits imposed by budgetary factors and construction regulations.
IS1 - Able to analyze and synthesize conceptual frameworks, generating new knowledge.
IS2 - Able to organize and plan the application of new knowledge.
IS9 - Able to solve architectural problems.
IS10 - Able to make decisions (in projects, construction systems, organization, etc.).
CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a foundation or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7 - Students should know how to apply the knowledge they have acquired and their problem-solving skills in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
CB8 - Students should be able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, while incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities related to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
CB9 - Students should know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and reasoning behind them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10 - Students should possess the learning skills that enable them to continue studying in a largely self-directed or autonomous manner.

Transversal:
IT2 - Able to work in an interdisciplinary team.
IT5 - Able to be sensitive to the environment (in projects, construction systems, sustainability, etc.).
IT1 - Able to acquire critical and self-critical abilities.

Specific:
A25 - T-STRUCTURAL WORK PROJECT. Aptitude or ability to size, design, schedule, and implement construction solutions, connections, and finishes for structural systems, enclosures, roofs, and other structural works, as well as associated civil works, both overall and in detail, and to provide technical advice on these aspects.
A26 - T-FINISHED WORK PROJECT. Aptitude or ability to size, design, schedule, and implement construction solutions, connections, and finishes for finished work systems, including interior partitions, carpentry, stairs, and other finished work, both overall and in detail, and to provide technical advice on these aspects.
A1 - P-BASIC ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN PROJECT. Aptitude or ability to apply the basic formal, functional, and technical principles to the conception and design of buildings and urban complexes, defining their general characteristics and the performance to be achieved.
A2 - P-EXECUTIVE PROJECTS. Aptitude or ability to prepare comprehensive execution projects for buildings and urban spaces with a sufficient level of detail for their complete implementation, including service and installation equipment.
