Gantt chart:

Budget:
The estimated budget of the project is 15,250,000 Rupees.
Factors related with environment and working culture:
The environmental factors which are responsible for influencing the flow of construction
activities are:
 Deployment of the organization culture
 Working hours of the labour
 Inclusion of holidays
 Unavailability of material
 Unavailability of skilled labour
 Load Shedding
 Political factors
 Public strike
Process assets used by the organization:
Process assets used by the organization are the set of guidelines, policies, and procedure
which should be followed for the completion of the project. The effective flow of activities
can be achieved in the construction of the residency with the follow-up of the organization
process assets.
Management plan for Project scope:
The collection of requirement from the customers helps in developing the design of the
residency. The face to face interview should be conducted with the customers to know the
actual requirement (Liu, 2010). The project can be completed within time and cost if the
supply of the raw material is managed on the construction location.
 Input required: Project charter and organization assets
 Tools and technologies: Efficiency in the decision, analysis of the requirement,
analysis of the outcome, and alternatives (Anyanwu, 2013)
 Output: Monthly documentation of the progress report of construction

Management plan for Project time:
The activities should be synchronized for completing the project within the mentioned
deadlines. The acceptance criteria of the project should be met.
 Required input: Cost estimation plan, time line chart, constraints of the project, and
baseline of the scope (Rao, 2010)
 Output: The monthly progress report of the project according to the scheduled plan
and activity chart (Zhang, 2015). The time management plan helps in delivering the
sequence of activities which should be followed for completing the project within the
baseline of the project (Ruoppila, 2016). The preparation of the Gantt chart on MS
Project or Primavera gives clear view of the milestone and associated activities.
Management Plan for Project Cost:
Estimated Budget: The estimated budget which is approved for the completion of the project
is 15,250,000 Rupees.
Cost Estimation plan is given below:
Cost Estimation Plan
Raw Material Required for the construction Associated Cost
Material required for plumbing Rs 794500
Requirement of concrete rods Rs 350,500
Paint required Rs 400,000
Material Required for constructing floor Rs 3,020,500
Requirement of electrical equipment Rs 2, 320,800
Material Required for Glass window Rs 35,560
Wood Rs 2,083,000
Cement Rs 1,085,300
Bricks Rs 1,650,700
Labour Rs 2, 300,000
Total Cost Rs 11,503,060
Human Resource Rs 02,500,000
Total Rs 14,030,060
Reserve Rs 12,19,940

Management plan for Project Quality:
The project quality management plan focuses on the quality of product provided to the
customers. The stylish and luxurious house is the dream of every citizen. The company is
trying hard to convert the dream into reality.
 Input: time baseline chart, cost baseline chart, stakeholder analysis report, and cost
benefit analysis report
 Output: The quality of the project can be measured in term of the completion of the
project within the mentioned deadline and project scope. The resource availability
helps in managing the flow of activities. The satisfaction level of the customer should
be checked for knowing the quality of the project.
The quality control tools should be used for managing the quality of the residency (Shacklett,
2013). They are categorised as preparation of the control chart, monthly financial analysis
report, analysing the performance of the team members, and others. The weekly meetings
should be organised to deploy quality check program periodically (Hughes, 2011).
Management Plan for Human Resource:
The human resource management program focuses on the processes and policies used by the
organization to construct the project. It focuses on the management of the project team,
selection of the skilled workers, improving performance of the employees by making use of
KPI’s.
 Input: Project team
 Output: Division of roles and responsibilities of the project team.
Management plan for Project Communication:
The project communication plan is successful in determining the requirement of the
customers. Information required by the stakeholders, and use of communication methods.
Role of the
stakeholder
Involvement of

material on the
site location
Low Positive impact
Contractor Completion of
the project
within time and
cost
High Positive impact
Project manager Monitoring and
controlling of

High Positive Impact
Management plan for Project Risk:
The risks management activities are composed of two processes which are classified as risks
identification phase and risk assessment and management phase (Chin, 2015).
 Input: Scope management plan, scheduling plan, communication plan, and cost
management plan
 Output: Risks identification, Risks Assessment, and risk mitigation plan
The risks management plan helps in analysing the risks associated with the estimating the
cost of the activities, estimating the baseline of the project, in the development of risks
register stakeholder plan, in the estimation of cost management plan, in the estimation of
quality of the product, in analysing the organization process assets, and inclusion of
environmental factors. “The risks register table should be developed for analysing the risks
and mitigation plan” (Samad, 2011).

Management Plan for Project procurement:
The project procurement development plan focuses on establishing decision related to the
purchase of the raw material, identification of potential suppliers, and others.
 Input: The inputs for developing procurement plan are inclusion of the scope baseline,
documentation of customer requirement, risk register matrix, cost estimation plan, and
activity schedule chart.
 Output: Procurement analysis table which is shown below:
Items Required Description Time
Cement and other building
material
They are required for
construction of the building
September to October
Availability of concrete rods For building the base of the
residency
November to December
Wood For the wooden work of the
house
January to March
Flooring material For the development of the
floor
April to June
Plumbing Piping work July to August
Use of electrical equipment Electrical work August to September
Material Management For the construction of the
residency
April to september
Conclusion:
The project helps in analysing the requirement of the project in contrast to the knowledge
areas of PMBOK for the effective management of the project activities. The activities should
be synchronized for completing the project within the mentioned deadlines.
