    construction. It gives an
    understanding of the technical
    elements of construction over

    building, a necessary project
    controls tool to achieve the value
    and best quality within the
    client’s specifications.

    PURPOSE
    • covers a considerable number of
    construction activities such as
    tendering, value management, change
    control, cost estimation, and claims
    management.

    • It supports the design process by


    implementing systematic cost criteria
    focused on maintaining a reasonable
    relationship among cost, utility, and
    quality which thus helps managers
    achieve the clients requirements within
    the agreed budget and time.
