    Skills You Will Build Across the Four ECO Domains

    Construction Capabilities That Employers Value

    This program helps you master the capabilities the PMI-CP validates, mapped to the official Examination Content Outline. By the end you can manage construction contracts, engage stakeholders, control scope, schedule and risk, and govern delivery with confidence.

    Contract Types and Delivery Method Selection

    Assess lump sum, cost-plus, GMP and unit-price contracts and delivery methods such as design-build, CM at risk and EPC, and advise on the risk allocation each structure creates. This anchors Contracts Management, the largest PMI-CP domain at 50 percent.

    Contract Administration and Change Control

    Administer construction contracts end to end: interpret terms, manage payment applications and retainage, and process variation and change orders through a controlled change-management process while keeping baselines and records accurate.

    Claims, Disputes, Risk and Insurance

    Identify and document delay, disruption and differing-site-condition claims, manage dispute resolution, and verify insurance and bonds so contractual risk is allocated and monitored across the project lifecycle.

    Stakeholder Engagement and Owner Relations

    Identify, analyze and engage owners, designers, regulators and communities, and run communications that keep capital projects aligned. This maps to Stakeholder Engagement, the second-largest domain at 30 percent.

    Strategy, Scope, Schedule and Cost Control

    Build the project execution plan, baseline scope with a WBS, and control schedule with critical path method and cost with earned value, while managing project risk and quality across the build.

    Project Governance and Compliance

    Establish governance frameworks, reporting and document control, support audits and health checks, and maintain regulatory and ethical compliance across the construction project.
