Abstract
In this report, a brief project plan has been developed for the proposed new demolition-
construction project of Deakin University. In this project, a piece of property will be leveled after
demolition of all the existing concrete structures on it. After leveling is done, a large shed will be
constructed following the 3D virtual model created by Deakin University. Based on the
requirements, the project challenges, schedule and proposed plan for execution of the project
have been provided in this document.

1.0 Introduction
In this project, as per the requirements of Deakin University, a particular piece of
property in a backyard will be cleared and flattened. After the land is completely cleared of any
remaining concrete structures and other obstacles like plants, a large shed will be built. The
university has already created a 3D virtual model of the shed and is looking to implement the
same design in the real shed that will be constructed on the piece of land.
In this report, several details of the project have been discussed according to their
importance in the project. Before proceeding with the project plan, the strategic and operational
challenges of the project have been discussed so that they can be mitigated before the project is
initiated. Accordingly, an organizational structure has been developed so that work packages can
be allocated to respective employees. Finally, an estimated schedule for the entire construction
process has been developed and accordingly, a project plan has been created following the
proposed work requirements.
2.0 Challenges (Strategic and Operational)
Some of the strategic and operational challenges associated with the project have been
categorized and discussed as follows.
† Project Specific Challenges – There can be a number of project specific
challenges occurring in the project depending on various factors. On such
challenge is the location of the piece of the property. The property is located on a
building backyard and hence, careless construction activity may damage the
adjacent buildings and structures (Alias et al. 2014). Hence, it is a challenge for
