Multi-Trade Construction Planning Training

Master Multi-Trade Construction Planning

Optimise Your Construction Projects with Multi-Trade Planning Training

Enrol in our Multi-Trade Construction Planning Training and develop the practical skills needed to plan and coordinate complex construction projects. This programme provides a solid foundation in construction planning, helping you structure activities, manage interfaces and organise work across multiple trades.

You will learn how to coordinate different trades on site, sequence activities effectively and optimise timelines, resources and project constraints. The training also covers key planning tools and methods to support effective monitoring and control throughout the project lifecycle.

You will also develop an understanding of risk and uncertainty management, enabling you to anticipate potential issues, assess their impact on the schedule and take appropriate action to maintain project progress.

Whether you are a project manager, engineer, works supervisor or construction professional, this training will provide you with the practical skills to plan, coordinate and monitor multi-trade construction projects effectively.

All - Trades Planning Training Objectives

Understand the Fundamentals of Multi-Trades Planning

  • Acquire the key principles of TCE (Multi-Trades) building site planning and apply them to practical projects.
  • Learn to integrate the constraints of each trade into the overall project timeline.

Master Multi-Trades Planning Tools

  • Get hands-on with professional project planning software (Primavera, MS Project).
  • Build realistic and coherent schedules adapted to the specifics of TCE (All – Trades) works.

Enhance Cross-Trade Coordination

  • Develop your coordination skills across the different trades.
  • Manage technical interfaces and anticipate conflicts to ensure smooth site execution.

Apply Monitoring and Control Techniques

  • Track project performance using KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).
  • Monitor deadlines and deliverables to maintain consistent project progress.

Manage Change and Unexpected Events

  • Learn how to adjust your TCE (Multi-Trades) schedule in response to real-world constraints.
  • Assess the impact of changes on the project and communicate them effectively.

Multi-Trades Planning Training outcomes

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the training, participants will learn how to sequence activities, manage interfaces between trades, consolidate the schedule, analyse the critical path and monitor progress using appropriate performance indicators.

Audience

This Multi-Trade Construction Planning Training is designed for project managers, engineers, works supervisors, planning engineers, coordinators and construction professionals involved in the preparation, coordination or monitoring of construction projects.

Prerequisites​

A basic understanding of construction principles and project management is recommended. Previous experience on construction sites or in project planning is an advantage. Familiarity with planning software such as Microsoft Project or Primavera P6 is also beneficial, but not required.

Teaching Methods

The training combines methodological input, practical workshops, case studies and hands-on exercises. Participants work through the different stages of developing a multi-trade construction schedule, from activity structuring to analysing deviations and adapting the schedule to changes.

Educational Materials

Participants receive training materials at the beginning of the course to support the methodological content and practical exercises. Workshops and case studies provide opportunities to apply the planning, coordination and monitoring methods covered during the training.

Our Trainers

The training is delivered by consultants and trainers with expertise in planning and managing complex projects. Their operational experience provides a practical approach to coordination challenges, interface management and the monitoring of multi-trade construction schedules.
