INTRODUCTION
Use of specific skills, knowledge and techniques for the required activities in order to
meet the requirements of a project is known as Project Management. It includes planning,
organising and directing the resources of the company to move the assigned project towards
completion. It basically means doing one project at a time while managing the financial and
human resources of the firm. Engineering projects including some complex set of elements,
requiring to be done and assembled at time and in a proper order to develop the desired product
require good project management(Wang and et. al., 2021.).This report is made on a construction
project to develop the Spring well Gardens by Morgan Sindall Group in Yorkshire and North
East in Leeds. It will include the purpose and goals, a detailed overview of the project, Gantt
chart, risk assessment and analysis of stakeholders on order to identify the scathing path. At the
end the report will mention the research methodology to ascertain the satisfaction of stakeholders
in the project.
MAIN BODY
Projects Aims and Objectives
OBJECTIVES
 To accomplish the project in 1.5 years.
 To build best quality homes for the consumers.
 To build luxurious homes to create an excellent living experience.
AIMS
The primary aim of this peculiar project is to give a top-quality city life to the people of
Leeds and help them to be able to live in their dream home.
Project Plan
Overview
Morgan Sindall Group has begun building the Spring Well Gardens which is a esteemed
project of Yorkshire and North East. The project is funded by Citylife, which is a developer
based in Leeds. It will set a new standard of the building to skyline increasing the residential
capacity of Leeds. In order to encourage the inclusive community people, the project is going to

make an excellent living experience for them(Jiang and et. al., 2021).Private roof terraces with a
good sky view, highly specified Juliette balconies, secured store cycles, private courtyards and
risk-free parking spaces will be build under this project. The location where this project is being
made is a prime location as it is very near to the railway station and it also has a close access to
the centre of the city with just 2 min of drive from M1, M66. A1.
Project Methodology- The team is using the Agile Methodology in this project to manage
it by dividing it into different phases. It will involve continuous collaboration with stakeholders
and constant improvements at every stage. After the commencement of the project the
management will take the first step by planning, executing, directing and evaluating the process.
For the stakeholders and the entire team, constant improvement is very essential. By regular
improvements, managers can easily and effectively manage the project. This methodology is
used by the firm because it is flexible, adaptable to change and has high level of consumer input.
Here are some of the many benefits of using this methodology –
 High product quality- Testing is an intrinsic part of this methodology. So the
consumers will remain and feel involved in the developing process if the management
team uses this method. Consumers can also ask to change some things but that will
entirely depend on the market conditions. The process of this method is repetitive, so the
organising team will gradually learn and grow with time. The team will also improve
regularly.
 Better control- This method is a great help for the executives too as they can have better
control on the project because of the transparency involved. Due to the quality control
features and feedback integration of the methodology, the company can have a better and
effective control over the project. By the phase of project implementation quality is
ensured and stakeholders are the part of the daily reporting of progress(.Komatsu and et.
al., 2020.).
Stakeholder Analysis
Stakeholders analysis is a very essential tool and is a crucial part of the stakeholder
management as it helps to identify stakeholders and their requirements. It helps identify the
primary stakeholders who are interested in queries about the project. Stakeholders who are
affected either in a positive or a negative way are the primary ones. Secondary are those people

who gets affected indirectly. And last but not the least, Tertiary are the ones who gets affected
but on a very low level. Here is the construction project analysis –
 High power and High interest- The main stakeholder of the project is the Leeds based
company Citylife which is also the sponsor and the partner in the project with Morgan
Sindall Group. And this is so because the company has the highest power and interest in
the business(Olsen and et. al., 2022.).They have a direct ownership of the project and are
also financing it. If the project turns out to be successful, then the company will get
positively affected. But it can also get affected negatively if in case the project is a failure
or if it doesn't get completed as per the expectations in terms of quality or cost.
 High power and Low interest- This category includes the employees of the company as
they are in integral part of the firm and and gets directly affected by the activities of the
project. They have high power in the tasks as no activity will move further without them.
The success of the project depends on the capabilities of the employees, so they can
impact the project to a large extent. But they interest is very low because they work for
their salary and the management can replace them if their work is not satisfactory.
 Low power and Low interest- This category includes the local residents, residing in the
close vicinity of the construction site. They have very low power and a very low interest
in the project. They do not have any power as they cannot take any decision about the
project activities and they do not have the interest to do so.
 Low power and High interest- This category involves the subcontractors. These are the
people who are given contracts for the specific tasks of the project by the main
contractors. These people have low power over there because they are only hired for
some specific tasks and if they do not do the work properly and meet the desired goal
then they will be replaced. Their interest in the project is high because the have a direct
earning of profit from the project(Vrangbæk, K., 2021.).
Resource Analysis
Here is the analysis of resources of the construction project-
 Financial- This refers to the capacity and the ability of the firm's funds to finance the
work it is doing. The project taken by Morgan Sindall Group is being sponsored by the
company named Citylife, which is based in Leeds. So the firm doesn't need to worry

about the funds and finances and they can operate and do activities without any loan or
mortgage(Jiang and et. al., 2020).
 Human resources- This part is about the recruitment, training and the promotion of the
employees at every level. Morgan Sindall Group has a good number employees working
on several projects with them who are fully skilled and well trained. Their employees
have the efficiency and many years of experience to handle the project. The company can
use monetary incentives, rewards and recognition in order to motivate their employees to
perform better. The organisation can also help their employees to develop new skills and
enhance their existing ones by giving them training frequently. The firm should create a
work environment which is free from absenteeism and good at maintenance of employees
turnover.
 Technology- Technological opportunities are assessed in this part. The company is very
well organised in terms of technology. It ensures the efficient resource allocation. The
organisation has created an environment which is good at motivating the employees to
give innovative and creative ideas. The company is also good at integrating new
technology(Casey and et. al., 2020.).
Risk Assessment
Risk analysis is the tool or technique to identify and assess the factors affecting the
success of the project. It also defines the preventive measures to reduce the profitability of
factors and also identify the counter measures to deal with restraints. Here is the risk analysis of

Work Break Structure- This structure is for breaking down the project tasks into small
parts. This helps in organising the work in manageable parts for the team. It may include a
service, product or any data. It also provides the necessary framework to do a detailed cost
control and estimation by giving proper guidance for planning the control and development. Here
is the analysis of Work Break Structure of the construction project-
1. Research for the resources which are possible.
2. Evaluation of the costs
3. Pre Construction
 Get bids
 Contract Agreement
 Examine the site
 Identify the risk involved
 Approve the construction draft
4. Procurement
 Market analysis
 Analysis of Budget
 Search new suppliers
 Negotiations
 Follow ups
 Approve construction report
5. Construction
 Decide the general regulations
 Set up the storage faculties

 Set up the programs of safety
 Building
6. Commission
 Equipments and system testing
 maintenance of the Staff training
7. Owner occupancy
8. Project closure

Supporting Documents
Here are some supporting documents of the project-
 Project business case- It is the document which states the requirements for the project.
It contains important information such as the market of the goods. It justifies the value
provided by completing the project in the decided budget.
 Project charter- It provides conventional authorisation of the project and contains all the
information about the demand. It includes the detailed break down the component.
 Project communications plans- It gives the methods and expectations to team members
to communicate in the project by conducting meetings.
 Project schedule- It describes the timescales including the target dates and schedules for
completing the project.
 Budget- It outlines the expenditure consisting the overall expenses for constructing
project.
Evaluation of the research methodology
To ensure the success of the project the management team needs to of identify the people
or group of people who have the capability to impact the work in a positive or a negative sense .
Morgan Sindalls Group's executives uses these methods for measuring the satisfaction of
stakeholders(Costigan and et. al., 2019).
 By conducting online surveys- Management teams do survey to gather and measure the
satisfaction with the advancement of project with softwares like Qualtrics to perform
online surveys. They make a list of questions they will ask in the survey and get inputs.
This method aids the decision makers in making well-informed charts of responses and
examine the inputs to take appropriate decisions.
 Running focus groups- The team of Morgan Sindall runs the group sessions to get
inputs from the stakeholders with the discussion status about the progress of team
towards the aims of the project.

CONCLUSION
The above report concludes that project management is the technique to apply the skills and
knowledge in doing the project activities to meet the dead lines and the expectations of the
project. A detailed plan was made for the project in which an overview, analysis of stakeholders
and the needs of stakeholders, assessment of risk was discussed. The aim of the construction
project was to provide people of Leeds with luxurious homes. In the end of the report an
elaborated and critical evaluation of the research methodology was mentioned to determine the
satisfaction of the stakeholders.
