Construction Management is about directing and administering the construction of facilities essential to modern life, ranging from bridges to transit systems. Construction Management engineers are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of the complexity of large construction projects, modern construction equipment, sophisticated construction methods and construction contracts. Societal needs, legal implications, economic conditions and public safety are paramount in the work accomplished by construction managers. High-tech tools such as computer aided design (CAD), geographical information systems (GIS) and 3-D computer modeling are a necessity in all areas of construction management.
New construction projects tendered in the last 2 years at UAE are estimated at about AED 47 billion, including commercial and residential buildings, roads, bridges, airports and other infrastructures, industrial parks and government institutions. The construction sector of the UAE economy is growing with significant expansion planned. As a result, the demand for professionals with a construction management degree is escalating with a sustained growth expected in the country. Both private companies and public agencies seek construction managers for a variety of professional positions. Many work for engineering consulting firms or construction companies as design engineers, field engineers and project managers. They also join government agencies to oversee the construction and resource management of all types of construction projects. Graduates are equally prepared to pursue Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in allied fields, as well as business, management and law degrees.
