Students shall acquire knowledge of the basic principles of the construction production process, content of the technological documentation of the works and its design procedures, the basic principles of the technical and tariff setting of works, the classification of construction machinery, types of different recovery systems, their advantages and disadvantages, the basic schemes of construction machinery, mechanized instruments, building machinery and hand tools that can be used for the performance of the works. Students acquire skills in the technological design of construction works and basic knowledge of execution technology of construction works – construction site treatment, transport works, ground work, pile work and others.
Knows the basic technological principles of execution of construction site works considered in the program, understands the content of technological design of construction site works, is able to orientate in the normative documents regulating construction site production. These skills are assessed with tests.
Can prepare the simplest construction calculations, can read the technological documentation of construction site works. These skills are assessed by the student's representative work. Knows the technical possibilities of the most widely used machinery in construction process, is able to choose the most appropriate mechanisation tools for specific types of construction work. This knowledge and abilities are tested in laboratory work.
Students' knowledge and skills are evaluated with a test with a mark according to the results of 5 tests, evaluation of the student's independent work and laboratory work.
1. Content of the construction production process and its role in national economics
2. Basic principles of the technological design of works
3. Occupation and qualification levels of construction workers. Technical and tariff setting of works. Scheduling of works in time and space
4. Estimation of the capacity of works
5. Construction site treatment
6. Transport works and loading and unloading work
7. Ground works, mechanical development of soil
8. Drilling works, blasting works
9. Pile jobs
10. Masonry works
11. Concreting works
12. Insulating works

14. Finishing works
This study course is to be successfully completed with an exsam.
Students' independent work includes Students' own-initiative work and study of professional literature, preparation for exam
The countdown mark shall be calculated as the sum of the evaluation of independent work and the included laboratory work (30%)
