2PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLANNING
Project Background
Stagnant wages as well as inflating range of home prices are these days becoming a
major issue in Canada. In other words the affordability for homes is becoming unattainable day
by day. However, the rate of population in industrial area are rapidly increasing and thus people
with high income in Canada are looking for constructing dream home in a dream riverfront
location. The dream home that is planned to construct in this paper is located in Windsor city,
Ontario, Canada. The land price of Windsor city, Ontario, Canada is these days running low and
thus, the owners has planned to construct the home.
Before initiating the project a detail project scope, WBS, Gantt chart, network diagram
using CPM, risk management plan, quality management plan, communication management,
human resource management and project budget management plan are elaborated in this paper.
In order to begin the dream home construction project the owner established a contract with a
building contractor. It is determined that, the builder will share a project status report
periodically to the other project team associates. Real estate agent will help the owner to select
the location. Once the paper works, government permission and other final documents are clearly
done, the construction work will be initiated.
Project Scope
The scope of the project is to construct a dream home in a riverfront location of Windsor
city, Ontario, Canada. The budget and time estimated for the dream home construction work are
$300,000 and 14 months. Therefore, the aim of the contractors and other construction
stakeholders are to complete the work within estimated timeline and budget only. The budget

specified for the project is enough. The amount of pollution in Canada is lesser than any other
neighbourhood countries and in order to maintain the pollution free environmental balance in the
riverside location the home is planned to build considering green building concept. In order to
build the green home precious natural green resources are considered so that both climatic and
quality of life gets improved. The builders and contractors will use renewable resource in terms
of solar energy. It is duty of the construction manager to use the natural renewable resources
effectively and efficiently to enable its usability. It would help to keep the indoor environment
pollution free. The materials those are used for construction of a green home include non toxic,
ethical and sustainable materials. The design will enable adaption for changing the overall
environment. In order to complete the construction works both technical and non technical
experts are required. It is assumed that successful completion of the dream home construction
work will meet expectation of clients and give positive, pollution free environment.
For this project a scope baseline in terms of a benchmark or reference must be considered
by the project manager and maintained by team throughout the project development life cycle
period. The scope for the dream home construction project holds a WBS dictionary and a detail
document. Project scope has to be formally approved by the construction lead and project
sponsor. The scope set for this project can be changed through different forma control
procedures.

WBS dictionary
i. Task name Design and construction of a dream home in Canada
ii. Task assumption
It is assumed that, the construction task has to be competed in bank approved given
budget rate of $300,000.
iii. Task constraints
The project is divided into 6 phases: landscape, house construction, inside work,
infrastructure, management and others. Triple project constraints in terms of scope, budget and
time for the individual phases are considered in this project. The budget for the 6 respective
phases are – $80000, $70, 000, $60,000 $45, 000, $10,000 and $30,000.
iv. Task project requirements:
The requirement examples needed for the project are as follows:
 Smart home building equipments and appliances
 Green home building appliances

6PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLANNING
 Raw construction materials
v. Quality standards
According to ISO 90000 the quality standards considered include:
 Inspection of the test status
 Control for the nonconformance products
 Handling design control and internal auditing
vi. Task deliverables
 Complete the dream home building project in $300,000
 Deliver the project to clients within 14 months
 Addition of technical aspects and green home building concept as well
vii. Task mandatory dependencies
All the project activities are dependent on each other. However some of the activities of
dream home construction project will run paralelly which implies that developers need not
complete one task to initiate the very next one. Framing, constriction of roof, slabs and tiles are
dependent on the concrete phase.
viii. Task external dependency
Royal builders and construction company is appointed to complete the relationship
between contractors, sub contractors, civil engineer and architect.
