Lifting plan is a set of plans which is created for use in any crane lifting operations and it consists of all the important information that must be considered in a lifting operation thus ensuring that the lifting operation is carried out safely. It aims to facilitate consensus amongst all relevant stakeholders including the lifting crew for a safe outcome. Under the WSH legal requirements, all lifting operations shall be accompanied by a lifting plan. This BCA Academys practical course will enable construction site personnel to prepare a proper lifting plan for crane lifting operations and implement the lifting plan in a crane lifting activity.

Having buildings completed and handed over to the owner on time is contractually important. Stakeholders should strive for minimum deviations from the approved building plans and Written Permission to avoid any delay during the TOP/CSC application. The course aims to equip participants with the knowledge on: a) procedure in the application for TOP/CSC b) technical and administrative requirements in connection with TOP/CSC application and c) common non-compliance and trends in the building works that are found during the TOP/CSC inspection.

Workplace Safety and Health (Risk Management) Regulations require stakeholders such as employers, self-employed persons and principals to have the responsibility of identifying safety and health hazards at the workplace and taking appropriate actions to eliminate the hazards or mitigate the risks associated with the hazards. Risk assessment and management is the key to reduce the risks at source.Participant who attends this course will have an in-depth understanding and knowledge on the concepts and methodologies of risk assessment and management. This course will also provide hands-on experience in the risk assessment for construction activities and development of risk management implementation plan.

Granite, Marble and Ceramic tilling are common finishes in building work. The Good Industry Practices Marble and Granite Finishes and Good Industry Practices Ceramic Tiling were developed to share with the industry good work practices adopted by practitioners and contractors who have consistently delivered high quality work, providing simple and practical tips to assist designers in selecting tiles and contractors in achieving high quality workmanship.This course highlights the good practices as introduced in the two guidebooks.

With the increase demand for construction professionals in the Built Environment industry, you and your peers must be really keen to join, but also have questions and doubts that you wish someone professional can give you an answer. You need to join us for our upcoming Course Preview happening this February 2019.WHY CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT?Every construction project combines a variety of complex challenges. Managing a project requires a combination of technical understanding of construction processes and resource management, as well as managing their legal and financial aspects.WHY STUDY WITH US?The Bachelor of Construction Management (Building)(Honours) will equip you with the skills and knowledge to manage complexities in construction projects both in Singapore and across the world. The programme incorporates substantial Building Information Modelling (BIM) teaching and projects which offer a niche specialty beyond the construction management discipline. This would give the graduates a solid foundation to pursue wide career choice as BIM Managers, Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors and Facility Managers.The degree programme is conceptualised to be a problem-based learning pedagogy to train students to solve real world challenges, develop holistic understanding of construction project environment and portable life-long learning skills. To offer an accelerated pathway, an advanced standing articulation would be eligible for students with relevant diploma qualifications.So, it is time to take action in order to embark on a rewarding career in the Built Environment industry!Attend our upcoming course preview (available in Session 1 and 2) to learn more about the construction industry and our best recommended programme; Bachelor of Construction Management (Building) (Honours) that we have to offer, starting this February 2019. Limited seats available. *Please bring along original & photocopies of your NRIC & Education Certificates.Please call 6248 9944 or 6248 9999 should you need more clarifications. Otherwise, you may also write in to our Programme Consultant, Ms Bernice Ang | e: Bernice_Ang@bca.gov.sg

Requirements of noise control and management in construction sites are stipulated by NEA and MOM through legislations. To ensure that construction works do not affect neighbouring residents and businesses, noise levels are to be continuously monitored in construction sites and kept within the permissible levels. Developers also require contractors to prepare and submit to them a Noise Management Plan which usually includes the baseline noise record, indicate the Noise Sensitive Receivers (NSRs) (such as hospitals, schools, etc.) and propose mitigation measures and public relation strategies to handle noise matters. Throughout the construction duration, contractors are required to implement all practicable measures while continuously monitoring the noise levels closely.

Construction Quality Assessment System (CONQUAS) is a voluntary scheme developed by BCA in conjunction with the major public sector agencies and various industry professional bodies to measure quality level achieved in a completed project. As part of the requirements for the Certified QM/CONQUAS Manager schemes which accord recognition to construction personnel who are instrumental in ensuring and delivering high quality projects as reflected in high CONQUAS score projects, the Certified QM/CONQUAS Managers course provides necessary knowledge to enable the participants to effectively implement Quality Management System (QMS) and achieve better Quality Mark (QM)/CONQUAS score.

Various challenges are present in pile foundation works due to the uncertainties and variability of the ground conditions. Once the piles are installed, they are expected to function throughout their lifetime. During the lifetime of the building, the foundation is rarely inspected for its continued structural integrity and stability. Supervision of piling works for building foundation is therefore essential and critical in ensuring the quality of construction works and safety of building structures. This short course imparts to participants the essential knowledge of good construction practices, supervision of piling works, regulatory requirements and testing of pile foundation works.

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is an integrated approach thatcombines Building Information Modelling (BIM) and advanced management methods to improve productivity. The programme will provide insights into VDC methodologies such asIntegrated Concurrent Engineering, and Process and Production Management, where participants will be able to apply these VDC methodologies to streamline project workflow and improve business performances . VDC will benefit both consultants and contractors to achieve productivity gains in upstream and downstream of both design and construction phases.

Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) is helping revolutionise construction, making it faster, safer and more reliable. It is a process whereby buildings are designed for ease of off-site manufacturing and efficiency of on-site assembly. To enjoy the benefits of DfMA for construction industry, practitioners will need to re-think its project design approaches and construction processes.This programme aims to equip industry professionals with the knowledge and skills to apply DfMA principles in construction projects, so as to achieve higher construction productivity.
