The success of a construction project results from the contributions and strength of the entire team -- including the financial manager. It requires open communication, understanding and collaboration. Managing, tracking, and forecasting the financial results on a construction project require understanding each phase of the project. This program teaches construction financial professionals the language of construction project management, how the information available relates to each phase of the project and provides an expert’s insight on what can go wrong. This course will take you on a journey through a sample job and map it through every project phase including adjusting and alignment of financials/data, and how to best collaborate with the project manager to deliver the most profitable results.
 

After completing this session, you will be able to:
 

• Explain the structure and activities required for successful project management.
• List the project management steps and discuss the importance of collaboration with other construction project stakeholders.
• Identify potential project risks at all stages of the process.
