Project Aims and Objectives

To critically analyse how SCCC is going to achieve decarbonisation in all of their housing stock by 2050.

• To analyse available literature / publications by way of a literature review to assess how decarbonisation by means of retrofitting will have an impact on the local authority.
• To identify the views and perceptions of decarbonisation in domestic dwellings by professionals in this field by means of primary research through interviews.
• To evaluate the findings from primary research and highlight areas of concerns and considerations as to whether decarbonisation to SCCC housing stock is feasible.

Why did you choose this course?

I chose to study BSc (Hons) Project Construction Management to further my career in the field of Construction. I started the course in my previous job as a Project Manager in Capital Planning for Swansea Bay University Health Board (previously known as Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board).

What has been the high-point of your studies at UWTSD? 

The high-point of my studies in UWTSD will be my graduation. It will be very proud day for me and my family. The last 4 years have gone so quickly, but at the same time it has been difficult. I am very happy with what I have achieved, and the troubles I have had to overcome to reach this point. 

What are your future plans?

My career plans are to keep on progressing and climbing the management ladder. I currently work for Swansea City & County Council as a Senior Project Surveyor / Manager and I will be hoping to progress further within the authority. I would like to further my studies at a later stage and complete a Master’s Degree in Project Construction Management or a similar related course
