Why construction project management under CATUC has become a mandatory competence
CATUC (Law no. 169/2026) redefines the framework for construction projects: a unified code, new classification, integrated approvals and stricter traceability. In this context, the project manager must apply the new legal framework, prepare the Project Management Plan (Art. 541) and use it across the full S0-S7 life cycle.
CATUC introduces new leadership obligations
The new Code formalises tools, roles and stages that the project manager must integrate into decisions, not only know about.
The Management Plan is no longer optional
Art. 541 establishes that the Plan is prepared by the project manager and approved by the developer, with 10 mandatory components.
From territory to permit, on the critical path
PUG/PUZ/PUD, Planning Certificate, permits and Building Permit must be integrated into scope, schedule, cost and risk.
Life cycle S0-S7 requires stage control
Gate reviews, deliverables and stage-gate criteria organise the project by clear stages, not by isolated documents or ad-hoc meetings.
The competence in focus: integrating the Plan components
Scope, cost, time, procurement, resources, risks, quality and communication must be calibrated together. Not in separate files.
Verification before approval
The Plan is verified for completeness, coherence and calibration to the project's consequence class.
The programme brings together Project Management under CATUC and the Project Management Plan in one practical path: apply the legal framework, lead the project, and prepare, verify and update the Plan.

Platform
Europroiect Estate Labs
Participants on this course get access to the Europroiect Estate Labs platform. There you work through hands-on labs on the course scenarios, across three difficulty levels. It is not a video catalogue. It is guided practice: you finish a live session, then apply it in the lab.
- Practical labs dedicated to the course you enrolled on
- Three levels: Easy (foundations), Medium (real project), Hard (decision under constraint)
- Progress at your own pace after live sessions, on the same platform
Easy
Foundations
You build the basics. You complete the right artefact with guidance: a clean WBS, a schedule, a register, a baseline file.
Medium
Project
You assemble the pieces on a project scenario. Dependencies, constraints and real data appear. This is where you see whether you can apply, not just reproduce.
Hard
Decision
A decision with incomplete data, conflict or deviation. You must analyse, choose and document.
Labs access is included for participants on this Live Online course.
What competencies you will demonstrate
By the end of the programme, you can demonstrate concrete competencies applicable on real projects.
CATUC framework applied to a project
Identify relevant CATUC requirements, the link to PMBOK/ISO 21502, and the three dimensions of time, cost and quality.
Permitting and governance
Integrate the planning, permits and authorisation path into the Plan and organise project actors with clear RACI and escalation.
Life cycle S0-S7
Build the stage map, mandatory deliverables and a gate-review system for moving between stages.
Management Plan Art. 541
Prepare the Plan structure with the 10 mandatory components and adapt it to the project's class and complexity.
Scope, WBS, cost and time
Define the Scope Statement, WBS, Cost Baseline, CPM/critical-path schedule and EVM indicators.
Risks, quality and communication
Build risk/issue registers, the quality plan and the stakeholder communication matrix.
Who this programme is for
The programme is for professionals who lead construction projects under CATUC and prepare the Management Plan as a decision tool.
A good fit if…
- ·Project managers responsible under Art. 541 for preparing the Plan
- ·Developers and investors who approve, monitor and control the Plan
- ·Engineers, architects and contractors involved in technical content, execution and coordination
- ·Project Controls specialists (planning, cost, risk, change, reporting)
- ·Site managers, RTE, checkers and client/public-authority staff

The focus is on preparing, verifying and using the Plan in practice, to lead the project effectively.
