This course is designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to prepare quantity surveys and cost estimates for commercial construction projects. Through the analysis of contract drawings and specifications, learners establish a project’s construction requirements, associated activities, and costs as they pertain to the MasterFormat Divisions: Div.01 General Requirements, Div.06 Wood Plastics and Composites, Div.07 Thermal and Moisture Protection, Div.08 Openings, Div.09 Finishes, and Div.10 Speciality Equipment.

Prerequisites:

• CNST1030A

This course is designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skill to apply spreadsheet and quantity takeoff software to the detailed estimating workflow used in a construction project. Learners will be using software applications to estimate divisions of work and construction costs introduced in previous courses.

Prerequisites:

• CNST1031A

This course is designed to apply the knowledge and skills acquired from CNST1030, CNST1031, and CNST1032.  Learners prepare a commercial building cost estimate and subsequent tender submission. This involves performing quantity takeoffs for architectural and structural building components, obtaining bids for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) work, preparing an estimate summary, preparing a bid, and managing estimate documents.

Prerequisites:

• CNST1032A
• CNST1036A

This course uses Microsoft Project Professional to develop and use critical path construction schedules. Learners are introduced to construction scheduling procedures and how schedules are used during construction to manage a project.
 

Prerequisites:

• CNST1028A

This course examines the relationship between building design, energy consumption, carbon emissions, and alternative energy sources. Learners will evaluate net-zero construction alternatives and their associated financial impacts.

Prerequisites:

• PROJ1112A
• CPTC1136A

This course examines competitive bidding processes used in private and public construction contracting. Learners will examine standard form documents, procedures, and regulations on public tendering and private bidding. Learners gain the knowledge and skill to solicit subcontractor bids, prepare public tender submissions, evaluate competitive bids, and award standard form construction contracts following industry best practices.

This course provides learners with the knowledge to apply the principles of sitework, cast-in-place concrete, masonry, and steel frame construction methods used in commercial buildings. This course covers MasterFormat Divisions 03- Concrete, 04-Masonry, 05-Steel, 31-Earthwork, 32-Exterior Improvements & 33-Utilities.

This course provides learners with knowledge of cold-climate building envelope construction. Topics include air/weather barriers, bulk water controls, vapour controls, and thermal conductivity within wall and roof assemblies. This course covers common cold-climate building envelope assemblies and materials, as well as Division 07 – Thermal & Moisture Protection and Division 08 – Openings.

Prerequisites:

• CPTC1135A

This course provides learners with knowledge of common interior finish systems and construction site logistics planning. In addition, the types, applications, and installation methods of various commercial interior building finishes are examined. Learners participate in the planning of a jobsite layout, including temporary facilities and environmental measures for a local construction site.

Prerequisites:

• CPTC1135A

This course explores common mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection (MEPF) systems found in building construction. This course is designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills required for identifying the major components of MEPF systems for cold-climate building system installations.

Prerequisites:

• CPTC1135A

This course reviews various theories and strategies for developing and managing project teams where complex contractual relationships exist in the workplace. This course combines lectures, discussion groups, role play and case studies dealing with various management situations.

Prerequisites:

• CNST1029A

This course provides an introduction to the meaning of community service.  Students learn how community service can enhance a student’s educational experience, personal growth, employability, and civic responsibility. Students participate in one day of volunteering to enhance their understanding of civic responsibility and to help the New Brunswick Community College realize its vision of transforming lives and communities.

This course explores activities performed during the pre-design phase of a new construction project including pre-construction services offered by construction managers. Activities include document management, establishing the owner’s requirements, conceptual design oversight, contract management, preliminary cost estimating, and client approvals.

This course provides a competitive environment for teams to develop code-compliant schematic designs for a mixed-use low-rise commercial building. Teams will develop a multistory building concept with each level being an independent BIM model. During the design, individual models will be linked to a federated model where learners will coordinate design efforts. The federated model will be periodically reviewed by the client and for constructability parameters.

Prerequisites:

• PROJ1110A
• SAAL1881A

This course provides the opportunity for teams to create a project management plan for their schematic designs created in PROJ1111A-Schematic Design Coordination. Planning activities will include cost estimating, scheduling, procurement planning, quality planning, and risk analysis using Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) workflows.

Prerequisites:

• PROJ1111A
• CNST1034A

This course provides the opportunity for learners to prepare a project plan for the renovation of an existing building. Learners explore issues unique to renovations and plan the phased construction of a renovation project in an owner-occupied building considering existing conditions, hazardous materials, occupant safety, and logistics within the context of a construction management contract.

Prerequisites:

• PROJ1112A

This course is an introduction to drawing interpretation and Autodesk Revit Building Information Modeling software. Additionally, this course integrates practical skills in drawing interpretation and utilization of Autodesk Revit Building Information Modeling software, providing learners with the knowledge and skills to translate 2D PDF construction drawings into comprehensive Building Information Models (BIM) using Revit.
