Introduction
The development of the quality control and cost control is a crucial factor for the
achievement of the project and the alignment of the factors for development. The study of books
like PMBOK and PRINCE2 would allow the information development and alignment. The
success of the quality and cost control is dependent on the project management factors and
techniques. The implication of the controlling strategies would be helpful for taking care of the
smart management factors. The following assignment had been developed considering the
Bungalow Project for aligning the management of the specific and smart work development. The
implication of the works and the allowance of the technology management for the project
completion would be effectively deployed with the project completion management. The report
would include the project overview statement providing an overview of the project activities in
alignment of management of the factors for development of strategies. The cost management
planning and quality management planning has been also a part of the project report. The project
management concepts and the tools would support the completion of the report. The utilization
of the factors for the incorporation and administration would support the inclusion of the specific
work alignment.

The project works would include the involvement of the construction project
management along with the documentation and the formation of the operations. The complete
project would involve 20 activities to be followed namely build dwarf walls, ceiling boards,
ceiling joists, roof timbers, clear ground, door and windows frames, electrics, floor joists,
floorboards, glazing, lay foundations, main walls, oversite concrete, painting, plastering,
plumbing and heating, skirting, and tiles. The completion of the works would require individual
work identification and the formation of the smart analysis of the activities. The clearing of the
ground would be effectively deployed for taking care of the site and removal of the wastage. The

perimeter would be developed around the construction works where apart from people working
on projects should not be allowed. It would help in mitigating the possibility of the accident at
the construction site.
The laying of foundation is the first construction work executed at the project site. The
digging of holes and eradicating the pillars would be primary job for the project team members.
The workers would form the building structure with the iron pillars and the dug foundations
would be solidified. The dwarf walls would be developed for boundary of the Bungalow. The
Bungalow would be constructed with the alignment of the works and the formation of the smart
work management. The concrete walls would be effectively constructed with the help of the
contractor and the construction materials and equipment. The oversite concrete would be helpful
for developing concrete base and mixing it for constructing the structure. The development of the
concrete wall would allow the formation of the structure and covering the pillars with solid
cement. The floor joists would be constructed with the help of equipment.
The flooring of the Bungalow would be done for aligning the work later. The floor would
be constructed and aligned with the construction of the main walls. The main walls would be
constructed using the construction raw materials developed at oversite concrete. After that the
door and windows frames would be carved out. The completed Bungalow would include doors
and windows and the construction of the frames and framework would be effectively helpful.
Later on the ceiling joists would be developed considering the implication of the roof timbers for
shed. The ceiling and floor works can be done side by side and it would help in completing the
work faster. The laying of the tiles would be done later on supporting the implication of the
cement and tiles all over the floors of the Bungalow. Apart from floors, any other part of the
Bungalow requiring the laying of the tiles would be done also.
The floorboards would be effectively developed using the required wood and timber. The
construction would involve the hiring of the mason for executing the floorboard works at the
Page 1 of 2

Bungalow. The mason would also be helpful for ceiling board activities. The ceiling joists would
be added with the boards for ensuring that the work is effectively employed. The Bungalow
construction would be aligned with the small works like skirting, glazing, plastering, electrics,
plumbing and heating, and painting. The activities would consume specific work people to be
included in the Bungalow Project like carpenter, technician, painter, and plumber.
Cost Management Planning
The cost management is a crucial factor defining the estimation of the resource usage and
identification of a specific project budget aligning the management of the successful completion
of the works. The cost management planning involves the following points,
a) Estimating timeline: The process of estimation of the timeline is very crucial as it
involves the consideration of the project effective timeline development. The project
resource would be implied cohesively for integrating the development of the work
and aligning the management of the project. The timeline for the cost formation
would be effectively implied with the listing of the works. The timeline estimation of
the cost required for the Bungalow Project would be implied with the consideration of
the improved work development. The timeline for the estimation of the work would
result in forming the analysis of the usage of the resource and the implication
management and formation of the cost entry analysis. The following is the resource
used for the Bungalow Project along with the scheduled time duration and timeline,
