Course Introduction
Construction projects often struggle to reconcile conventional performance targets with rising demands for environmental stewardship, social responsibility and climate resilience. This sustainable construction project management programme provides leaders with frameworks and tools to integrate sustainability throughout the project lifecycle from planning to close-out. Participants learn to apply green construction training principles in procurement, delivery and performance management while proactively addressing associated risks. This course can be facilitated in London, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Nairobi, and other major business centres on client-preferred dates.
