2PROJECT INFORMATION REPORT
Introduction
The following assignment has been made for the construction project considering the
development of the construction project environment and alignment of the successful integration
and management of the activities (Kerzner 2018). The listing of the activities and managing the
utilization would be improved for the functional development and forming. The information
management for the construction projects had been implied with the improvement development.
The effective information and listing of the successful management information development has
been done for compiling the information. The alignment had been implied for making sure that
the implied for listing the utilization development. The probable risk management had been
implied for integrating the listing of the implied management.
In this assignment, the identification of the probable risk factors would be helpful for
listing the probable management development. The project of Traffic Light Installation and Road
Widening Project is being considered with the successful management and development. The
successful completion of the report would provide the possible risks and their mitigation
strategies. The report would provide the options, issues, and recommendations for road widening
project. The utilization of the improved functional management risk management using the
quantification of the time schedule and cost has been done using the Black Spot estimation.
Project Overview
The construction project of Traffic Light Installation and Road Widening Project has
been implied for aligning the development of the successful alignment management. The
utilization would result in implying the successful formation and listing of the information
management. The widening of the roads is a major construction project developed for informing

the alignment of successful execution of the projects. The integration of the construction works
has been constructed for modifying the development site on the corner of a busy state road and a
local road with lesser amount of traffic. Both the roads meet at a T junction.
Options, Issues, and Recommendations for Road Widening Project
The construction works of Traffic Light Installation and Road Widening Project would be
done following the construction of the roads and widening for the installation of the traffic lights.
The construction works had been helpful for ensuring the development of proper and effective
work outputs. The following section would highlight the options, probable issues, and provide
some recommendations for Traffic Light Installation and Road Widening Project,
Options: The construction projects have the following options for development of the
effective plan of operations including the implication of the project management operations. The
options of project are highlighted below,
Information Utilization for construction works- The allowance of the construction
management has been successfully implied with the utilization of the probable factors and
development of the information management. The options for the project include the
construction works and resource utilization. The integration of the construction works has been
implied for modifying the development site on the corner of a busy state road and a local road
with lesser amount of traffic.
Appropriate Budget Development- The project manager has been provided with a budget
of $400,000 for the completion of the project. The analysis of the construction projects had been
defined with the utilization of the management process. The widening of the roads is a major

4PROJECT INFORMATION REPORT
construction project developed for informing the alignment of successful execution of the
projects.
Issues: The major issues of the project include the budget estimation errors, inappropriate
work requirement identification, and safety issues. The probable issues would result in forming
major operational issues in forming the construction of the project activities. The lack of the
resources is a major factor that can impact the construction works and it would also result in
forming major issues in making sure that the activities are completed successfully.
Budget Estimation Errors- The project of traffic light development would be influence
by the estimated budget and the probable miscalculation of the budget would result in limiting
the works of the project. The budget has been developed for the works of traffic light installation
excluding the cost of the road widening.
Inappropriate Work Requirement Identification- It is required for making sure that the
bus bay, local road, and state road has the right amount of turning for the vehicles. Apart from
the traffic light installation and there is also a requirement for the widening of the road that
would not be met in the current scenario.
Safety Issues- The state road is often used by many people and there is also a school
present in that road. Hence, it is important that the work progress might not affect the traffic and
the safety of the people. The poor condition of the road shoulder is a major issue for the
construction development.
Recommendations: Some recommendations for the project include use of agile
methodology, proper investigation of reports, accumulation of resources, and hiring of a contract
expert.

5PROJECT INFORMATION REPORT
Agile Methodology- The agile methodology would be helpful for ensuring the
completion of the project activities and alignment of the successful project development.
Appropriate information- The correct information would be helpful for enabling the
construction planning and resource management.
Timely Resource Accumulation- The resource accumulation would be supported by the
formation of the successful inclusion of the factors for development.
Road Widening: The widening of the road would be required for the project and
inclusion of the activities would be done cohesively for developing proper and effective traffic
light installation. The widening of the road would be done along with the development side for
the ease of turning and moreover it would help in fixing the poor condition of the shoulder. The
traffic light installation would be done and the widening of road along the development site
would help in making sure that the poor condition of the shoulder would be dealt with apart from
increasing the scope for developing right turn lane.
Risk Identification
The possible identification of the risk factors includes the development of successful
project completion and the alignment of the improved operations (Heagney 2016). Since, it is a
construction project, there are several works related to the manual activities. The possibility of
risk factors would be in abundance including the risks of budget estimation errors , inappropriate
work requirement identification , and safety issues. The risk factors had resulted in forming the
major system issues with the alignment of the successive and development factorial issues.

6PROJECT INFORMATION REPORT
The quantification of the risk factors of budget estimation errors, inappropriate work
requirement identification, and safety issues have been done using the probability cost estimation
for the contingency cost estimation. The steps included in the estimation are,
 Identification of the risk factors,
 Estimation of the cost estimates,
 Evaluation for determining the risk type (high, low, medium),
 Inputting the value of standard contingency,
 Calculating total contingency and strategic estimates

7PROJECT INFORMATION REPORT
The construction project had been developed using the project management method and
estimation of the probable cost time estimation (Fleming and Koppelman 2016). The inclusion of
the factors for the development of the project schedule would be based on the listing of the
successful execution of the project plan development. The project plan had been developed with
the information alignment and use of proper management methodology. The risk of climate
conditions, human health and safety, lack of resources, machineries issue, and time delay are the
factors that result in forming the major issues in constructing the management process (Harrison
and Lock 2017). The quantification of the time schedule for the project is,
 Identification of the activity schedule,
 Estimation of the time estimates,
 Evaluation for determining the risk type (high, low, medium),
 Inputting the value of standard contingency,
 Calculating total contingency and strategic estimates
