Objective : The student needs to acquire skills in project methodology with emphasis on the initial phases. The project work should aim to provide the basis for a following final project, DIP-B, and must therefore include feasibility studies, programming and preparation of proposals.

At the final examination, a student, who has fully fulfilled the aim of the course will be able to:
- Perform a report the final project requirements and program
- Reflect on and assess the final project requirements and program
- Develop, analyze and justify the choice of solutions
- Explain the documentation of the Program Project
- Explain the planning and implementation of the work in connection with the Program Project
- Account for and reflect the use of personal and human competencies
Principal Content : 1. Initiative Phase
Selection of project area within the Building and Civil Engineering field/Construction works:
Building sector: building techniques, structures, or installations or
Civil Engineering sector: planning, road and traffic engineering, civil works, water and environment.
Construction Management.
Planning Processes, Performance Planning, execution processes
Project idea is submitted. Task"s purpose and scope are described.

2. Program Presentation
Based on an actual project the program presentation must include:
- Client"s needs and what functions the construction works must comply
- Project organization
- Requirements to location
- Timeframe and economy

- list of contact persons

3. Program for construction works
From assessment of needs and from analysis of functions the existing program is revised and the following should be prepared for form and function and for technique and environment.

4. Solutions
The presented proposals are reviewed related to revised program. Revised solutions are developed and should be motivated related to requirements of quality and economy.
