Revised Syllabus Ashoka MArch ACPM

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE (M.
Arch)
ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
About: The Program is designed to meet national demand for project leadership in the
building construction and infrastructure sectors. Delivering well in these sectors is key to
attainment of the national growth and development agenda. These sectors however
experience inadequate project life-cycle planning and avoidable time and cost over-runs.
Offered and designed exclusively for Architects, the Program aims at developing a talent pool
of construction project managers with the capacity to deliver projects on time at planned
costs and benefits. Rigorous and intellectually stimulating, the Program combines advanced
construction technologies to aid delivery at scale and speed, with BIM, Energy Consciousness,
Services and Facilities Planning, Contract Management, Sustainable Procurement, Total Cost
of Ownership, and new age project management principles including Dr Goldratt’s Critical
Chain.
Objectives: The Program aims at attainment of the following objectives:
• impart knowledge on the complete cycle from project ideation to closure,

• inculcate the practice of delivering projects in terms of cost, time, resources, and
feasibility,
• familiarize students with practical approach in decision making, contract management,
good on-site practices, quality and safety methods, multiple stakeholder management
and funding principles, and, inter alia,
• exposure to state-of-the-art IT solutions in the construction industry and their practical
usage in project monitoring, control, and variance mapping
