1. The project management methodology that can be used in the construction of the house is
PMBOK. The full form of PMBOK is Project Management Body of Knowledge. The
Project Management Body of Knowledge has several knowledge areas and processes that
are utilised in order to construct the house (Varajão, Colomo-Palacios & Silva, 2017).
The process groups of PMBOK methodology include initiation phase, planning phase,
execution phase, controlling and monitoring phase and then closing of the project. These
phases are very important in order to complete the construction of the project (Hermano
& Martín-Cruz, 2019).
1. Finalise the Client’s Requirements
Finalization of the requirements of the clients falls in the phase of initiation. Without
finalising the requirements of the client, the project will not execute or move forward
(Chaves et al.,2016). First and foremost in this project is finalising requirements of client in
terms of scope. The scope of the project of building the house includes the objectives of the
project, the important deliverables that are required for the project, the requirements of the
projects, budgets, and time required for the project and the risks in the project (Bayona,
Saboya & Bustamante, 2018).
The main objective of the project is to deliver a dream house to the client with the budget
that is provided by the client so that the client is satisfied with the construction project. The
things that are to be delivered for the project include the design of the house, design
documents, design reviews and the progress reports of the projects and it should be finalised
with the client so that it is checked and approved by the client (Pang et al.,2018). The
requirements of the projects are the raw materials that are required to construct the house for
the client. The requirements are the raw materials and other requirements such as the labours
are required in order to construct the house for the client. The budget is also an important

scope for constructing the house and the budget is already given by the client is AUD $
500,000 and the time is also an important scope for constructing the dream house for the
project. The time given by the client is 12 months and the project manager need to finish the
project within duration of 12 months. The risks of the project should be managed by the
manager of the project and should be minimized as much as possible for the accomplishment
of the project. The risk of construction of the house include incomplete drawings, scope those
are defined poorly, errors and designs and poor management of projects and there are other
risks in the project that should also be taken into account by the manager of the project.
b. Ensure Communication with Stakeholders
Ensuring communication with the stakeholders falls in the planning phase of the
PMBOK methodology (Binder, 2016). It is essential to communicate with the stakeholders
about the construction project before the project is executed. The communication matrix is
given below which states the communication with the stakeholders.
