1. Project Introduction and parameters
This project depicts the crucial necessity of implementing proper project management
plan while constructing any project professionally. This project is about the construction of a
shed at 94 Western Beach Road in Geelong, Victoria 3220, which is also known as 94WBR-shed
project. It is confirmed that, for successful implementation of the construction project, the project
manager and the project team members are required to follow Building Information Modeling
(BIM) model and the standard 2D modeling approach. With the help of 2D modeling and
blueprint designing the construction of the 94WBR-shed project will become much easier to the
project manager. The basic project information and the other requirements assumed for this
project are elaborated in this report. The total land area estimated for the 94WBR-shed, is
104.65 m2 and the project is expected to be completed within (25/4/2018 to30/5/2018) with a
budget of $50,000. The construction project tam is comprises of project manager, labours,
contractors, finance manager, electrician, plumbers, three carpenter and project sponsor.
The tools and techniques that are to be used for the successful implementation of the
construction project include: risk management, time and cost management, stakeholder
management, communication management, human resource management, procurements
management, safety management and quality management.
1.1 Project scope
The scopes for this particular project are as follows:
 Complete concrete footing
 Setting up of 2 aluminium doors

1.3 Project assumptions
 The project manager of for 94-WBR Shed project gains the demolition permission
 Work strikes from the labor’s end will be avoided
 The outcome of the construction will not be fluctuated due to the material cost
2. Project management methodology
Project specification is referred to as the SMART objectives which are generally
developed at the very project initiation phase. In order to implement any project successfully it is
necessary for the project manager to develop a project SMART objective for timely successful
implementation of the project. On the other hand, the parent organization industry shows the
ownership structure through which the roles and responsibility of each and individual involved to
the project can be easily determined. Though, based on the skills, knowledge and efficiency the
resources should be allocated to different task. If the labours and other stakeholders appointed

3ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
for the construction project are found to not have enough professional knowledge then the entire
project will be a failure.
Recommend feasible project team
Project feasibility is referred to as a viable idea that gives the project team member and
the project manager an idea about whether the project outcome is feasible or not. Feasibility
study makes sure about the additional requirements those are to be incorporated to the
construction project so that it can meet the expected project outcome. The feasible project team
defines the organizational structure that should be followed by 94WBR-shed project before the
implementation of the project. The organization structure of the project is given below:

2. Required project tools and techniques
The construction project managers should use various kinds of techniques and methods
for accomplishing the objectives of the project at the pre construction phase. and In order to
successfully accomplish the construction project it is necessary for the project manager and the
project team members to acquire proper tools and techniques. For this particular project,
different relevant tools and techniques are adopted by the project manager and those are as
follows:
The project manager handles different methods those are dependent upon the project type
and work nature. In order to ensure the key success of the project it is necessary for the project
manager to adopt proper tools and techniques accordingly. Those are as follows:
Being the project manager the tools that I am going to suggest are as follows:
2.1 Scope management tool
Proposed tool: Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
User: Project manager
Function: In order to manage the scope of the project the WBS is the most suitable tools.
This tool can divide the entire project into small segments and based on complexity of the
activities the time is allotted for the individual activities.
2.2 Risk management
Proposed tool for risk management: Risk register
User: Project manager

5ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Function: The risk register is a risk mitigation strategy that is presented in a tabular
format and the table is comprised of reason or root causes of the risks and its mitigation
strategies. In order to resolve the risks respective risk mitigation approaches are identified in the
risk register.
2.3 Communication management
Proposes tool: Daily meeting and weekly report
User: Project manager
Function: With the help of the weekly report and daily meeting the project manager and
the project team members will be able become more aware about the project status. In daily
meetings the project managers and the stakeholders will be share their point of views with others.
2.4 Procurement management
Proposed tool: Performance reporting
User: Project supervisor
Function: In order to reach the desired quality and objectives of the project this tool is
very much helpful.
2.5 Stakeholder management:
Tool that has been proposed: Stakeholder map
User: Project manager

6ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Function: The stakeholder map and stakeholder analysis will help to identify the
influence and impact of the stakeholders in a project. In order to identify the opinion of the
stakeholders this tool is very much helpful
2.6 Human resource management
Proposed tool: staff management plan
User: Project manager
Function: For the small projects this particular tool is very much helpful. In this
particular approach the responsibilities, timeline and the description of the roles of the resources
can also be defined.
2.7 Quality management
Proposed tool: Check sheet
User: Project manager
Function: With the help of the check sheet the current status of the projects and the
expectation from the project can be identified accordingly.
Propose a feasible demolition construction method for the 94WBR-shed project
There are different reasons for which the construction projects are required to adopt
proper demolition method. The design if every building or a structure has a particular life span
which is also called as design life. The term demolition process means destruction, removal or
breaking down a complete construction project in small parts. The demolition of the construction
is the process of dismantling the structure after the completion of its serviceability span
according to the pre planned and controlled methods. There are different steps such as survey,

7ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
removal of hazardous materials, planning preparation and safety measures included in the
construction. For this 94WBR-shed project, the recommended demolition method is preparation
of a perfect demolition plan. For the 94WBR-shed project the proposed demolition plan is made
and that is illustrated in below:
 The location for the construction should be demolished
 The total length of the road that has to be constructed should be structured
properly
 A structural support system for the road should be prepared
 The plan should show the process of demolition of the road detailing the sequence
 Other precautionary measures are also needed to be adopted for the public safety
such as covered walkways, signaling etc.
Draft version for the project
After analyzing the detail requirements of 94 Western Beach Road in Geelong, Victoria
3220, [94WBR-shed project] construction project it is found that within 6 weeks the projects
should be successfully accomplished. In addition to this the total budget that has been estimated
for the 94 Western Beach Road in Geelong, Victoria 3220, [94WBR-shed project] is $50,000. It
has been assumed, that all necessary operational and functional activities will be followed
properly by the project manager and labors for developing the construction project.

3. Project management methodology
3.1 Project scope management for 94-WBR Shed
In order to manage the scope of this construction project the project manager and
construction architect should design the blueprint of the construction initially using the concept
of building Information modeling. After analyzing the entire requirement of the project the large
project should be divided into small segments. Then the complexity of each of the activity should
be measured. After that based on the complexity of the project activities the resources are also
allocated to each task. After creating the WBS, the outcomes of each phase should be tested and
validated. Then a scope control plan should be implemented for the construction project for
successfully complete the project within estimated time and cost.
3.2 Risk management plan for 94-WBR Shed
In order to control, minimize and resolve the risks it is necessary for the project managers
to follow four steps such as risk identification, risk assessment, risk analysis and risk control
strategies development. In the risk assessment phase the factors those are to be considered
include identification of hazards, the affected area, evaluation of the risks, defining proper
control measures, recording all necessary findings from the risk assessment, for the residual risks
development of proper contingency plan. For this project the risk control measures are aging
divided in three parts such as reducing risks, retaining the risks and removing the risks. It is the
responsibility of the project manager to create a risk register to prioritize the risks.
3. 3 Communication management plan for 94-WBR Shed
Communication is the most important thing that should have to be maintained by the
project manager and the project members for the successful implementation of the project. Three

9ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
different types of communication approaches are there such as upward communication,
downward communication, and parallel communication. For this particular construction project
the project manager must ensure that the project team members are using open communication
for communication with each other. With the help of open communication the project team
members will be able to share their point of views and innovative and creative ideas with the
project manager. Open communication delivers a free working environment to the employees.
3.4 Procurement management plan for 94-WBR Shed
Procurement management is an important part for the construction project. This is a
critical part of the project as in this phase the construction project manager has to select the
sellers, bidders and the raw material suppliers also. If the project manager fails to select these
components then the entire project will be a failure. With the unsuccessful implementation and
consideration of these factors the project will be at risk in terms of quality, cost, scope as well as
schedule. The components of the procurement management plan include stakeholders, contract
type, contract type, documentation, time and schedule estimation, WBS preparation, constraints
assumption etc.
3.5 Stakeholder management plan for 94-WBR Shed
Stakeholder management is referred to as a plan through which a strong relationship can
be build among the interested group of stakeholders and the project owners. This will impact the
project outcome. It can either be a positive or a negative influence from the project perspectives.
Thus this is the responsibility of the project owners to manage the project stakeholders properly
for minimizing the negative impacts and all other obstacles accordingly. In order to prepare the
stakeholder management plan for 94WBR-shed project, two factors are individually analyzed in

10ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
terms of power and interest. The interest of the stakeholders will be high if they are informed
timely and managed closely and it will low for vice versa.
3.6 Human Resource management plan for 94-WBR Shed
HR management planning for the 94WBR-shed project is another important part that has
to be considered for managing the resources accurately. There are three major processes such as
organizational planning, staff acquisition planning, and team development for managing the
human resources of the project. Based on the skills, interest and knowledge of the resources they
should be hired and appointed to the project development team. The project manager should
possess good relationship with the project team members and must motivate them so that they
can deliver their desired job roles. Only the expected staffs are to be assigned for the project for
its successful implementation within estimated time and budget.
3.7 Quality management plan for 94-WBR Shed
The key success of any project is directly related to the quality of the project. At the project
initiation phase based on the project requirement the project manager should look for the raw
material suppliers, project team members because the combination of team member’s skill, raw
materials and support of the project manager can evaluate any project successfully. For 94WBR-
shed project the quality is about its sustainability. The constructors should construct the road in
such a way so that it can take the load of the vehicles properly without any kind of damage. Thus
the composition of stones, sand and cement should be appropriate for delivering quality
outcome.

11ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
3.8 Time management plan for 94-WBR Shed
Time is an important constraint for the successful implementation of the construction
project. If the project timing is not maintained accordingly then, then it will also negatively
impact the project budget. After analyzing the details requirements of the project background it
has been found that then it will not take more than (23/4/2018 to 30/5/2018). Rather it can be
said that, for the successful implementation of the project the project manager and the project
team members should give timely efforts on each of the project activity.
3.9 Cost management plan for 94-WBR Shed
Based on the project requirements it has been found that the project is required to be
completed within the estimated budget of $50,000. The project sponsors and contractors are
hired for this project based on the requirement. At the project initiation phase, a feasibility study
should be done to make sure that the project outcome is beneficial or not. The steps those are
followed for the successful development of the cost management plan for the 94WBR-shed
project are as follows: resources planning cost estimating, cost budgeting and cost control. The
cost management plan covers the entire project life cycle. However, the investment from the
project sponsors are other important thing that has to be considered.
3.10 Safety management plan for 94-WBR Shed
In order to implement an improved safety management plan for the project the steps those
are followed include: spreading proper safety awareness among the project team members,
creating proper accountability at all the level of development, proper safety awareness program,
the contractors are pre qualified for the safety, Focus on proper fall protection, regular field
safety inspections etc. All preventive measures for securing the labors who are working for the
project are needed to be considered for the successful implementation of the project. Weekly

12ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
meeting is required to be arranged by the project manager and the project team members should
make sure that they are attending the meeting accordingly.
3.11 Integration management plan for 94-WBR Shed
The integration management plan is referred to as an information delivery approach that
combines all the factors accordingly. It is necessary for the project manager to integrate all the
tasks together so that the issues of the construction project can be minimized and the project
manager can deliver the most appropriate delivery approach to the project consumers. Integration
management plan is consists of the following phases in terms of quality, cost, time, contract,
tender etc. The necessary functionalities and all required operations are required to be integrated
all together so that it can deliver the expected project outcome.
