Background
This project is about an early stage residential construction work, which involves
development processes from laying the road for access to the site until the construction of the
Fit gates. The project is expected to take 5 months to complete from June to October 2018.
The project would be completed within the allotted budget of $618,997 and a contingency
amount of $61900 would be kept for handling emergencies.
Project Review
In the proposal stage of the project, a network diagram was prepared and critical paths were
calculated to arrive at two alternative solutions.
Project Schedule
The critical path was A-B-C-E-F-G-H and the project had the following schedule defined:

a) It was found that increasing duration of electrical activity was not going to affect the
overall project schedule s the activity had a 42 days float and thus, its duration was
increased to revise the schedule. An alternative solution was use of this time for
reduction in the project schedule by 40 days, which would change the critical path to
A B C D E F G H and L. However, this would require additional resources to be
recruited. Reduction in time would have major commercial benefits, as site work
would be reduced by 14 days.
Project Budget
Project Budget is $618,997 and a contingency amount of $61900 would be added to it for
approval. The table below shows the distribution of the total funds into each activities of
construction that would be carried out on the project:
