Methodology

Lectures. Fieldwork on a Property development with the comparative analysis of three types of financing and two variables of the completion time.
The problems resolved by the students, along with investigative work on the types of machinery and tools with their corresponding costs are assessed on the course. Site visits to construction sites are made on this course.

Evaluation

A. Exams.
D. Homework.
E. Reports.
G. Computer Assignments.
J. Participation in class.

The final mark of the course is the average of the two quadritrimesters ADG (35% + 35%) and the practical work done of the site visits E (30%) if one of the 3 marks is less than 4, the student cannot average. If the student has less than 4 in an exam, s/he must re-sit this part in September.
