Content

SRM777 provides students with an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the construction industry workplace through real or simulated work placement.  Simulated work placements will be offered through the use of a software program that allows students to form construction companies and work together to bid on projects, manage staff and stakeholders, make financial decisions and grow the wealth of their company.  In this unit students will be required to apply discipline and course specific knowledge across a range of construction industry roles. They will practice their decision making and problem solving skills and understand the leadership roles and responsibilities of a Built Environment professional.
