• Prepare and assess documentation for planning permission and other official permits
• Prepare and analyse cost calculations and carry out building economics assessments
• Provide examples of, and motivate, idea flows in society concerning building work and adapt building projects to these.

Content

The course is based on lectures and reading of the literature, which provide the knowledge required to plan buildings and to prepare drawings and specifications. Students will also have the opportunity to carry out exercises and study trips, and shall actively participate in seminars. A major project work will be carried out and presented orally and in writing.
