CMDP-2013Materials and Methods
This course is a bridging course for students with a technology diploma joining the Construction Management Degree program. This short yet intensive course will introduce students to the principles of how structures are built with an emphasis on commercial, institutional and industrial buildings. Following the new MasterFormat, it provides an overview of the major building systems from foundation up, how each is constructed, and how each is influenced by its relationship to other systems (e.g. concrete, masonry, steel, wood structural systems, thermal/moisture protection, and interior finishes). Actual project drawings/specs and 3D models are used to review building systems and materials.
