Abstract:
During the construction stage, not only engineers but also architects participate to the management of the project. Therefore, architects should also be informed sufficiently about construction management during their education.However there are not enough lessons about construction management in the architecture faculties or departments of Turkish universities. Therefore the architects who are not sufficiently informed about construction management face some difficulties and problems. Undoubtedly, this situation has a negative effect on the quality and costs of the projects and causes various conflicts between the parties.In this study, opinions of architects who are still in application are asked in order to determine the negative reflections of the above mentioned deficiencies in the architectural education. Survey method was used for data collection. 515 pieces of data with enough prevalence to represent all Turkey were collected and were analyzed by SPSS 18 package program.At the end of the study, important findings were obtained such as the level of construction management information during architectural education in Turkey, the reflections of deficiencies related with this subject to application and the necessity to review the education programs in this context.
