Syllabus

This unit is directed at engaging students with the financial aspects of property development, commercial construction and infrastructure development.

Students will learn financial analysis techniques, such as discounted cash flow, net present value, internal rate of return, cost of capital and opportunity cost analysis in the context of developing residential, commercial and infrastructure of the built environment. Students will explore these concepts with respect to the local, national and global built environment markets.
