Requirements
This course provides a complete and practical guide to scope management in construction—equipping project managers, engineers, architects, planners, and site supervisors with the essential knowledge and tools to define, manage, and control project scope from inception to handover.
Whether you’re managing a vertical residential development or a complex infrastructure project, effective scope management is key to delivering successful outcomes—on time, within budget, and to client satisfaction. This course begins with the foundations of scope planning, including defining objectives, deliverables, exclusions, and constraints clearly, while ensuring alignment with client expectations.
Participants will gain hands-on skills in developing Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), creating scope management plans, and applying techniques to manage change requests, avoid scope creep, and verify project completion. Emphasis is placed on real-world practices such as scope baselining, stakeholder communication, tracking unmet deliverables, and navigating formal change control processes.
The course also covers strategies for dealing with client-driven variations, communication protocols, and tools for ensuring the entire scope is validated and handed over successfully. Participants will learn how to use scope checklists, sign-off procedures, and progress inspections to ensure quality and completeness of all deliverables across trades—from structural and MEP to architectural finishes.
By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to lead scope management efforts confidently—ensuring clarity in expectations, adaptability in the face of changes, and excellence in project delivery.
