for the development of the main road. And the third overlay should ensure that the radius of
the city should not be come under construction (Timber Developmemt association, 2011).
VI. Project Constraints
The height of the building should be less than 9 metre
There is a limited budget of $775,875
VII. Budget
Total Land area of the plot = 146.25
Total floor area = 146.25 * 3
= 438.75
Total budget = $ 1700 * 438.75
= $ 745,875
Miscellaneous Expenditure = $ 30000
Total budget required = $ 775,875
VIII. Project Key features and Benefits
The deployment of the project ensures that the project will be completed within the scheduled
end date of the project. The management of supply and demand of resources helps in
achieving smooth functioning of the construction activities (Westland Skye Development
Ltd, 2011). The division of roles and responsibilities among the team members resolve the
problem of conflict and chaos. The work of one labour will not be affected by the other due
to the synchronization in the project activity schedule (Kaushal, Bhatnagar, Anand, and Ram,
2015). The allocation of the resources helps in completing the project within the time line
chart.

2. Part 2:
I. Ethical Code of conduct by project manager
The project manager should develop a construction plan by managing the integration and
interrelationship between the processes undertaken for the completion of the project within
the deadline. The legal and social issues should be resolved by arranging periodic meetings
with the stakeholders. The moral and the legal issues of the workers should be resolved by
the project manager. The communication balance should be maintained with the top
executive and the labour. The skills, expertise, and experience through observation should be
enhanced to give better result of settlements. The transparency should be maintained between
the division of roles and required resources and authority for the completing the work on
time. The team members should be provided with the guidelines for accomplishing their
given task with perfection. The confidence of the team members helps in analysing the
participation of the project manager in the communication process with them. The aesthetic
feelings of the members should not be hurt.
II. Ethical code of conduct by client
All the requirements and services provided by the contractor about the project should be
clearly defined in the tender or agreement provided by him to the top executives. Good and
healthy relationship should be maintained between the contractor and the project high
professionals. The supply of resources should be continuously maintained according to the
demand raised by the site engineer. The safety measurement should be focused during the
construction program. Healthy working environment should be provided to the labour for
completing their jobs (Somers, 2013). The allocation of the resources helps in completing the
project within the time line chart. The employees should not be criticizing without any unfair
work done by them.
III. Ethical Code of conduct by workmen
The correlation and coordination should be maintained between the labour working at the site
location. The workmen should show dedication towards their work. The work of one labour
should not affect the work of other. The labour should equip with the qualities of honesty and
hard working at site location. The distraction and chaos should be resolved with proper
communication between the two parties (Gilbert, 2014). The safety measurement should be
focused during the construction program. Healthy working environment should be provided
to the labour for completing their jobs. The aesthetic and the cultural feelings of the workmen
should not be hurt. The privilege should be given to their feelings and emotions.
IV. Moral Rights of Worker
The worker should be provided with the safety measures working at work place. The
responsibilities provided to the worker should be according to their skills and expertise. The
aesthetic and the cultural feelings of the workmen should not be hurt. The privilege should be
given to their feelings and emotions. He should have a provision for organizing their work
