The impact of the Capital Works Management Framework on the Built Environment is continuing to expand. The impact of
the Capital Works Management Framework on the management of pubic capital projects is immense. All project types
including; building, civil engineering, mechanical and electrical services are affected. The lead role of quantity surveyor as
a cost and value specialist requires the profession of quantity surveying to adapt and develop existing and new skill sets
to effectively delivery the Government’s objectives in the reform of public sector construction procurement. During 2015
the Government’s capital expenditures for the next 5 years were announced. These Government projects will be managed
through the CWMF. Graduates from the MSc will be well positioned to capitalise on these opportunities.

This programme will be 11 months in duration, commencing in September 2017. The programme will be run during the daytime. Classes may take place Monday through Friday inclusive and will be between 11 and 17 hours per week. Timetables will not be finalised until September 2017.
