The construction industry is one of Australia's largest industries. UNSW offers programs in Construction Management and Property which prepare students for professional and executive employment within this industry.

Construction Management is the complex and detailed management of people and physical resources necessary to successfully design, develop, construct and operate residential, commercial and public properties. The construction manager requires skills in planning, cost and quality management, law and real estate, industrial relations and people management as well as a detailed knowledge of construction techniques and materials.

These include careers in Construction and Project Management, Quantity Surveying, Property Development and Property Management. Common graduate destinations include positions as project manager, construction consultant, building estimator, quantity surveyor, building economist and property manager.
