Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Nadeem

You are going into planning from the right direction having built things first.

As far as qualifications are concerned the most useful I obtained was GCE O level Carpentry - you don’t need much CPD for that one.

I used to do money claims until I bought PowerProject and taught myself how to use it. I then called myself a delay analyst and put my rates up.

Make sure you join the Planning Engineers Organisation.

Good luck

Hi Nadeem

I did MSc in Construction Management at Loughborough University (a 5* research university). I did part time (2 years) or you can do it full time (1 year).

I chose a planning orientated subject for my dissertation which is a really useful way of digging deep intoi the subject.

There are some fantatsic staff there. I was fortunate enough to have Professor Baldwin as my academic supervisor and was also tutored by Professor Austin and Professor Carillo.

Austin and Baldwin especially are inspirational - they being particulary instrumental in the development of the ADePT method.

Good luck

David
