Department

Institute of Structural Economics and Management (EKR)

Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of technology and construction of buildings.Knowledge of labour engineering and work economy in civil engineering. Knowledge and skills are required especially from areas of work, material, machines and equipment standardization, wage and salary issues and coding and classification of building production issues.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Aims
