Overview

One of the primary concerns for this transition is associated with the skills needed for the construction workforce, more specifically the challenges associated with the need for a 'green' skill or the occurrence of skills gaps. A key member of the workforce and driver of sustainable building projects is the project manager.

Features

This An Investigation into Project Management Skills Required for Sustainable Buildings research at Robert Gordon University will seek to study sustainable building projects, seek to study the role of the project manager and understanding the skills required to undertake and deliver the project, in addition to analysing skill challenges and further areas of development required for the project manager.
