Project Report
1. Project Description
According to the government study, it is observed that the Burnaby hospital needs
expensive renovation and upgrade. It is observed that the cost of the upgrade will be too
expensive to consider and therefore, it would be better to relocate the hospital. The project aims
in construction of a new Burnaby hospital.
2. Project Purpose
The project chosen aims in developing an entirely new Burnaby hospital as the cost of
upgrade of the new hospital is estimated to be more expensive than development of an entirely
new hospital. Therefore, the project aims in development of a new Burnaby hospital.
3. Business Case
The proposed project is justified particularly because the cost of renovating the hospital is
way more than developing an entirely new hospital. The current condition of the Burnaby
hospital suggest that the hospital is in need of renovation. The increase in the problems faced by
the Burnaby hospital authorities, staffs and the patients indicates that the hospital is in need of a
redevelopment.
4. Business Requirements
The condition of the new Burnaby hospital started deteriorating 20 years ago and the
internal structure has completely become fragile. The hospital had not been renovated for a long
time and therefore the cost of renovating the entire hospital would be way more than
development of a new hospital and therefore, the need of developing the Burnaby hospital is

quite huge. The development of new Burnaby hospital would prove to be advantageous from the
business perspective in comparison to renovating and repairing the old hospital.
5. Assumptions
The key assumptions linked with the Burnaby hospital project is indicated below-
1. The resources needed for hospital redevelopment would be easily available is an
important assumption related to the project.
2. It is assumed that the funding for redevelopment of the hospital is approved at this
stage of project implementation
6. Constraints
The main constrains of the Burnaby hospital project are as follows-
1. The project needs to be completed as soon as possible
2. A minimal patient disruption is needed to be ensured
7. Risks
The major risks identified in the project are as follows-
1. Schedule risk is a major risk as the project is needed to be implemented as soon as
possible
2. There is a risk of disruption of the normal patient services.
