Wet room course – Module B

Once you have completed Module B - Professional Manager - your company can apply to join the “Approved wet room company” scheme. The professional manager plays a key role in ensuring interdisciplinary cooperation in wet room projects. The area of responsibility includes ensuring that all important activities within design, management and execution are taken care of. This involves coordinating the necessary design and construction trades, maintaining a good dialogue with the authorities, the client and other stakeholders, as well as organizing and coordinating quality and HSE systems for the project.

This course covers both the Basic Module and Module B - Professional Manager.
