Course Description

In the ever-evolving world of construction, projects are becoming more complex, timelines tighter, and expectations are higher. Success today demands more than traditional planning, it requires integration, agility, and foresight.

This course is designed to equip construction professionals, project managers, engineers, and aspiring leaders with the tools and mindset to master the Integrated Project Planning and Control (IPPC). Through a balanced blend of technical depth and practical application, you’ll learn how to bring every element of a project from scope and schedule to cost and risk into a unified system that drives clarity, control, and confidence.

You’ll gain more than just planning and control skills, you’ll develop the ability to see the bigger picture, make confident, well-informed decisions, and align your entire project team toward a common goal. Throughout the course, practical examples, interactive tools, and proven industry methods will support and enrich your learning journey.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles and value of integrated planning and control in construction projects.

• Develop and manage comprehensive project schedules aligned with cost and resource plans.

• Apply earned value management (EVM) techniques to monitor performance and forecast outcomes.

• Integrate scope, time, cost, and risk into a cohesive planning framework.

• Use digital tools and software for real-time tracking and collaborative planning.

• Make informed decisions using data-driven project control strategies

Who This Course Is For

This course is perfect for:

• Site and project engineers ready to grow into planning roles

• Planning and scheduling professionals seeking deeper integration skills

• Construction managers wanted to lead with stronger project control

• Graduates who are preparing for real-world project challenges

• Professionals and Business Owners  who wants to manage construction projects more effectively

Learning Integrated Project Planning and Control (IPPC) gives you more than technical skills, it gives you a clearer, more connected way to manage construction projects.

Instead of treating planning, scheduling, cost, and risk as separate tasks, IPPC brings them together into one cohesive system. You’ll learn how to keep your project aligned from start to finish, spot potential issues early, and make smart decisions backed by real data.

In a field where delays and overruns are all too common, IPPC helps you stay ahead. It improves not just project performance, but also team communication. You’ll be able to clearly report progress, coordinate across departments, and get everyone working toward the same goal.
