Introduction
The Green House Company was established in the year 1998 by Jay and Dash who were
the co-founders of the company (Bryde, Broquetas, Volm, 2013). The company started from
building and constructing various types of bathrooms and after about a decade the company grew
and various branches were established in the suburbs. Currently, the company fully established
in Melbourne.
The primary objective of Green House Constructing Company is to construct not only houses but
homes for their esteemed customers. It focuses more on residential houses especially in towns
and cities. The company gets some of the requirements of their customers and what the
customers need the house to be then their task is just to participate in the actual constructions.
This is done by putting into consideration some aspects such as the budget that the customers
have regarding their house (Marchewka, 2014).

At Green House Constructing Company, the project director is tasked with the
responsibility of managing the scope of the Company (Wysocki, 2011). Here the Scope

statement and the work breakdown structure (WBS) fully define the scope of the project. Three
main stakeholders; Director, Sponsor and Management staff undertakes the various tasks such as
preparation and approval of documents that measure the projects scope which consists of actual
work performance and delivering quality checklists.
Moreover, these three major stakeholders also have the task of initiating the required
proposed scope changes after which a request is submitted so as to obtain an estimate with regard
to the cost and schedule (Verzuh, 2015).The requested changes are the evaluated by project
director so as to decide whether or not to enact them. Once the changes have been approved by
the director an action is taken so as to enact them or to dismiss them. In the case where the
changes have been approved, then they are sent to the change control board and the project
sponsor for acceptance and necessary changes made such as updating all documentation and
communicate the changes to various management staff.
Roles and responsibilities
Here the project director as well as the project team plays a key role in managing the
entire scope of the housing project. For instance, the project director, various managers and
constructing supervisors are required to be fully aware of their various responsibilities so as to
ensure that the tasks performed in general by the company is of the right quality and in
accordance to customer requirements (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The table below outlines some
