Project Background
Stagnant wages as well as inflating range of home prices are these days becoming a
major issue in Canada. In other words the affordability for homes is becoming unattainable day
by day. However, the rate of population in industrial area are rapidly increasing and thus people
with high income in Canada are looking for constructing dream home in a dream riverfront
location. The dream home that is planned to construct in this paper is located in Windsor city,
Ontario, Canada. The land price of Windsor city, Ontario, Canada is these days running low and
thus, the owners has planned to construct the home.
Before initiating the project a detail project scope, WBS, Gantt chart, network diagram
using CPM, risk management plan, quality management plan, communication management,
human resource management and project budget management plan are elaborated in this paper.
In order to begin the dream home construction project the owner established a contract with a
building contractor. It is determined that, the builder will share a project status report
periodically to the other project team associates. Real estate agent will help the owner to select
the location. Once the paper works, government permission and other final documents are clearly
done, the construction work will be initiated.

neighbourhood countries and in order to maintain the pollution free environmental balance in the
riverside location the home is planned to build considering green building concept. In order to
build the green home precious natural green resources are considered so that both climatic and
quality of life gets improved. The builders and contractors will use renewable resource in terms
of solar energy. It is duty of the construction manager to use the natural renewable resources
effectively and efficiently to enable its usability. It would help to keep the indoor environment
pollution free. The materials those are used for construction of a green home include non toxic,
ethical and sustainable materials. The design will enable adaption for changing the overall
environment. In order to complete the construction works both technical and non technical
experts are required. It is assumed that successful completion of the dream home construction
work will meet expectation of clients and give positive, pollution free environment.
