Construction Project Management: Phases, Tasks, and Boundaries

This presentation provides an overview of construction project management, including the phases, tasks, and boundaries involved. It covers the objectives, goals, resources, budget, and schedule for a successful construction project.

Project Scope and Related Aspects
Name of the Student
Name of the University

Project Objectives
The project objectives are set as follows:
 To purchase a land according the requirements of the owner
 To ensure that no kind of modifications would be made after the project plan
would be developed
 To ensure that contract would be signed by project manager and other stakeholders
 Completion of the project within the estimated deadline and budget

The Goals for the Project
The goals that could be set for the construction project are:
 To design an initial construction plan that would suit the client requirements
 To complete the project within an estimated budget and on time
 Understanding of project boundaries and mitigating them
 Planning of project benefits and pursuing them

Phases of a Construction Project

Sub-Phases within the Project
The sub-phases that could be included within the project are:
 Initial Planning – During this phase, the construction manager
would plan for the mapping of the location and drawing the
detailed project plan.
 Procurement of Materials – After an approval from project
owner, the contract would be signed. The construction materials
would be procured during this stage.

Sub-Phases within the Project
The next phases of the project are discussed as follows:
 Implementation Phase – During this phase, the implementation
of the made plans would be done. The construction would be
done within the estimated budget and planned schedules.
 Completion – After the project would be completed, the building
would be tested by the project owner. Based on approval, the
project would be marked as complete.

Tasks within the Construction Project
The tasks that would be included within the construction project are:
 Initial mapping and idea development
 Preparing of project plan and budgetary estimations
 Approval of project plan
 Constructing of house
 Final Project Approval

Resources required within the Project
The resources that would be required for the completion of the project are:
 Amanda and Chen (The primary clients who have proposed the project
idea)
 The project cost manager (Representative of CIAMY Building and
Construction)
 Construction Manager
 Physical Resources such as construction materials and electrical materials

Budget for the Construction Project
The budgetary considerations for the present construction project are:
 The estimated budget for the project is $280,000
 The budgetary considerations would be sent to Principal for approval
 15% of full amount would be paid to contractor at the start of project
 10% amount would be marked as ‘Holdback’ and would be paid with
final payment

Schedule for the Project
The project schedule would be planned according to the following
ways:
 The project manager would be consulted by the clients in order to
design the project
 The project plan would be prepared based on consideration of
budgetary estimations and resources gathered
 The land would be purchased after every modifications within the
schedule have been made
 Each of the estimations made within the schedule would be
planned after prior approval

Identification of Project Boundaries
There are certain boundaries that could be incorporated within the
construction project. These include:
 There is a certain limit to which the budget for the project would
be provided
 The project manager would have to understand the different
boundaries and plan accordingly
 The project budget has been capped at a limit of $280,000

Identification of Project Boundaries
The other boundaries for the project are:
 The mapping of rooms within the home have been planned in
collaboration with the clients
 Extension of new rooms would not be done and thus the home
would be built in a certain limited area
 Based on the project, the rooms within the house would be
planned as per the estimations.

Identification of Project Boundaries
The other boundaries for the project are:
 The project would be allocated with a fixed start and end date
 The execution date and contract signing date have been
confirmed previously
 The 50% date of project completion have been planned by clients
and cannot be changed

Ways of identification of project boundaries
The project boundaries could be identified as:
 Proper discussion with the clients and understand project
description
 Determining of any kind of contract, if signed between the
project cost manager and client
 Determining project schedule and budgetary estimations

Benefits of Project Identification
The benefits based on project identification are:
 It would lead to increase the speed of support service
 It would also help in increasing the productivity among staff
 The overall efficiency of the project would be further be
increased

Benefits of Project Identification
The other benefits based on project identification are:
 It would lead to reduction in cost minimization
 Increase in the number of sales and high revenue generation
 It would bring about better form of motivation
 It would also lead to high amount o morale among staff
