Construction Specifics: The explicit mention of WBS for construction deliverables, CPM/Gantt for schedules, cost control for material/labor/equipment, QA/QC standards (ISO, BIS), construction contracts, and site risk mitigation are all excellent.

Module 4: Business Environment – Strategic Alignment

Critical for Construction: "Regulatory and legal issues," "Environmental and safety compliance (EHS, OSHA)," and "Organizational influence and project governance" are paramount in construction.
Forward-Looking: "Value delivery through sustainability and innovation" shows an awareness of modern industry trends.

🧰 Construction-Specific Case Studies & Tools

Hands-on Value: This section significantly enhances the practical application of the knowledge.
FIDIC and EPC: Very important for international and large-scale construction projects.

📝 PMP® Exam Preparation

Essential: This module ties everything together for the certification goal.
