Course Objective

Investigation of the comparative supremacy of some contemporary costruction systems of fully industrialised, semi industrialised, rationalised and conventional construction systems as well as determination of the most appropriate construction system by cost-benefit analysis.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

2   To list the construction phases for any building
3   To determine the quantity survey, cost, building physics properties with emphasis on heat insulation values- and approximate construction time for any building
4   To compare construction systems by the use of value-benefit and/or cost-benefit analysis
5   To present information on a selected and researched construction system
