FC-H04Higher Diploma

Higher Diploma in Construction Project Supervision

Uganda builds continuously and supervises poorly: the construction sector is among the largest employers and the largest sources of workplace death, and the recurring findings in collapsed buildings, overrun projects and disputed contracts point to the same missing person, the competent site supervisor who can read a programme, control quality, enforce safety and administer a contract.
