Bonanza Residential Construction Project Introduction A project of 10 stories building with 20 apartments, 20 car parks and 20 storage system has to be built. The project has already has an approval for eight stories and additional approval has to be taken from the council which would take 3 weeks to plan and 4 weeks for approval. 12 apartments are already sold and remaining eight have to be sold. Finance management Project manager would get $12,000,000 as project budget and $2500 per week of payment and $10,000 incentives for every flat sold. It is expected that project manager would be able to complete the project work in $10,000,000 and thus, make a profit of $2,000,000 and $2500 per week as well we $10,000 as incentives per 8 apartments that have to be sold. The prices for the contractors and suppliers would be agreed upon between them and the project management organization. A contract sum would be assured to them for the whole project and a provisional sums would be allotted as allowance for specific project elements. Interim payment certificates would be made to allow payment of these provisional sums during interim deliveries of the project. Half of the contract amount would be retained and remainingwouldbepaidasprovisionalsum. Theretainedsumwould bepaidpost completion(Njie & David Langford, 2017). Contract Management The contracts would be needed between suppliers and construction contractor, project manager and developer, and Developer and construction contractor. There would be three types of contracts including fixed price contract, fixed price plus incentives, and unit price contract(LEVELSET, 2019). Supplier Contracts:For developer contracts with suppliers, unit price contracting approach would be taken in which price for each unit of material would be fixed and the contract would also mention the estimate of the amount of material that would be needed on the project(Sarde, 2016). Construction contract:As the duration of the project is fixed, the project manager knows the duration for which the workers would be involved on the site for the construction work. Hence, a fixed price contract would be made with the construction contracts(Hendrickson, 2008). 2
Bonanza Residential Construction Project Project Management & sales management Contracts: There would be dual contracts between the project manager and the developer to take care of the responsibilities related to managing the construction work and the work of sales of the apartments. The construction project management would have fixed price contract made for the duration of work and the sales would need a fixed price plus incentives contract so that on the sale of every apartment, an incentive of $10,000 besides the profits that would be made on the fixed price of $12,000,000 that would be allotted in the whole construction plus sales project(Hendrickson, 2008). Risk Management The project is likely to face the following risks: The project is expected to get the revised design in 3 weeks and approval for additional construction in four weeks post that. However, there can be delays in these activities that can affect the project durations and as a result incur additional cost for construction as the workers would already be hired to start building the foundation even before approval. As there is affixed price contract between contractors and the developer based on the number of days, the additional sum would have to be made for additional duration of the project. At the same time, the contract between the project manager and the developer does not allow increasing of the price in such a case as it is allotted not on the basis of duration but on the project deliverables. To avoid such problems, the schedule would be prepared taking the buffer for delays so that any delay can be accommodated within limits. Also, there would be a mitigation measure taken by allotting a contingency fund that can be utilized in such time(Markgraf, 2018). Project can also face a risk of a staff leaving the work in between causing lack of resources which can make it difficult for remaining workers to take care of the timelines causing delays. To avoid this from happening, contracts would specify that discontinuation of the work due to workers leaving would have to be taken care of by the construction contractor such that the risk is transferred to the contractor. The prices of the supplier materials can change during the course of the project resulting into the rise of project cost. To avoid this from affecting the project, the company would have clauses in the supplier contracts to not change the price for a six monthsduration in which the project would be planned, approved as well as constructed(Rodrigues-da-Silva & L.H., 2014). 3
Bonanza Residential Construction Project Conclusion The project involved designing and approval of proposal for extension of a 8 stories building to 10 stories to be managed at the cost of $12,000,000 for construction. The report illustrated how payments, contracts and risks would be managed on the project. References Hendrickson, C. (2008).Project Management for Construction.Carnedge Mellon University. LEVELSET.
