Management of site access, storage, safety, and workflow during construction.
About this course
Construction sites are complex, dynamic environments where every square metre counts. In ARCH 3280 Site Logistics Planning, you will learn how to organise the physical flow of people, materials, and equipment throughout a project's lifecycle. This course moves beyond theory to focus on the practical management of site access, storage, safety, and workflow during construction.
You will work through real-world scenarios, creating detailed logistics plans that address potential bottlenecks and safety hazards. The course emphasizes the coordination required between different trades and stakeholders to ensure smooth operations.
