The Project ended on 31st December 2011.

Results of the project consist of 6 manuals. These manuals present knowledge from the field of management in construction, very useful for civil engineering students as well as construction engineers and managers.

This Project is based on European Directive nr 89/48/EWG on regulated professions in respect to scope of recognition, maintain of high standard in professional disciplines, promotion and certification of qualifications by international associations and organizations - from construction sector. The main task of the project was to deepen and improve Directive's ideas, which lead to creation of proper European system of comparison, certification and mutual recognition of managerial qualifications in construction. Profile of construction managers education, responsible for cooperation in the field of construction in the European Union, developed differently in countries with command economy and market economy. Project is the continuation of the successfully finished CLOEMC I project (PL/06/B/F/PP/174014, set of 7 already created manuals presented on the attached CD (annex 7). The CLOEMC I project created first 7 books for Construction Managers Library:

M1 - Project Management in Construction

M2 - Partnering in Construction

M3 - Business Management in Construction Enterprise

M4 - Human Resource Management in Construction

M5 - Real Estate Management

M6 - Economy and Financial Management in Construction

M7 - Construction Management

CLOEMC I manuals are commercially published on Polish market, in respond to demand from construction engineers. As a result of the ongoing project, a set of next, new 6 manuals was created, forming common platform of managerial knowledge, necessary for management in construction:

M8 - Risk Management in Constrcution

M9 - Process Management - Lean Construction

M10 - Computer Methods in Construction

M11 - PPP Projects in Constrcution

M12 - Value Management in Construction

M13 - Construction Projects - Good Practice

This base of knowledge extends the foundations of recognition and certification of managerial qualifications in construction, in European Countries. Curricula for complementary postgraduate studies, as well as rules and criteria of certification were created. Without these manuals it is not possible to launch complementary studies, promoting recognition of qualifications and accreditation of construction managers in the European Union. Results from previous projects are put into practice by i.e. creation of Polish Association of Building Managers (PSMB - Member of AEEBC) and its close cooperation with The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and The Association of European Building Surveyors and Construction Experts (AEEBC), what assures European dimension of the project. Foreseen manuals will become a new tool allowing promotion, certification, comparison and recognition of construction engineers and managers competence on European, domestic and sector level. The manuals will facilitate process of standardization (in all 15 countries associated in AEEBC, and other also) of certification process of engineers applying for the title of EurBE. Results of the project will improve didactic process and qualifications recognition of EU managers in construction.
