Final Project Report: Residential Complex Construction (Part B) Report

This final project report, focusing on the construction of a residential complex in Queensland, Australia, details the project's time and cost planning. It includes a comprehensive project activity list, task dependencies, and activity sequencing, crucial for effective project management. The report outlines resource requirements, activity durations, and the creation of a bar chart and critical path network to visualize the project timeline. It predicts the project's completion date and addresses resource allocation challenges. Furthermore, the report utilizes MS-Project to generate computer outputs, aiding in the alignment of the construction project plan. The project follows traditional agile methodology to ease construction activities and ensure effective operations. The report covers the project scope, objectives, milestones, limitations, assumptions, and constraints, providing a complete overview of the project's lifecycle. The report shows the activities, predecessors, and successors of the project in a tabular form.

Part B: Project Cost and Time Plan
Introduction
The construction projects are developed for the implication of the operations for the
deployment of the effective construction activities. The development of the final project
deliverable is based on the development of the finite project deliverable. The project completion
would help in yielding the effective and improved operations (Sahebjamnia, Torabi & Mansouri,
2015). The construction project would yield in using the concepts of project management for
developing the final project.
The following assignment comprises of project tender documentation that would provide
a detailed explanation of the project scope statement. The implication of the project development
report would form the overview of the project boundaries, objectives, milestones, and project
limitations. The review with the customer is another major element present in the project report.
The report would provide the brief of the project assumptions and constraints.
The project scheduling for residential complex construction project is developed by
listing the activities that would be carried on within the project. The activities would allow the
formation of the dependencies and the resource alignment. The completion of the activities,
sequencing them, and adding resources to the project would tend to form the final project plan.
The report would help in easing the flow of information and aligning the final project delivery.
The use of Ms-Project would be helpful for the alignment of the construction project plan. It
would list the project activities in a table and a timeline too.
1. Time and Cost Planning of the case project
1.1 Project Activity List
The project activity list is developed for forming the effective calculation of the project
schedule and the development of the final project deliverable for the alignment of the operations
and forming support for the integration of the operations (Larson & Gray, 2013). The project of
Construction of Residential Complex in Queensland, Australia is a construction project and the
traditional agile methodology is followed for making the project. The implication of agile
methodology would help in easing the construction activities of the project. The implication of
project activities would be helpful for the deployment of the construction activities in more
sequential and effective operations. The project activities had been formed considering the

2.3 Resource Requirements of the Project
The resource requirements for the project of the developing the effective implementation
and alignment of the operations would be helpful for the deployment of the effective and
improved estimation (Sahebjamnia, Torabi & Mansouri, 2015). The top down estimation had
helped in listing the development of the operations that are favourable for the development of the
operations. The alignment of the operations had helped in alignment of the activities and it would
help in forming the final deliverable of the project. Both human and material resources are used
in the project for developing the final achievement of the project. The resource requirements for
