Project Management: Renovation and Expansion of Custom Woodworking

This project focuses on the renovation and expansion of the Custom Woodworking Company (Tommy Ltd.), a small to medium-sized custom furniture organization. The project aims to enhance the existing facility by adding production capacity, installing air-conditioning, completing the finishing shop, and renovating the president and vice-president's offices. The project is planned to be completed within 18 months with a budget of $19 million. The project plan includes initiation, planning, execution, and closure phases, with detailed activities such as business case development, feasibility study, resource planning, and stakeholder sign-off. A work breakdown structure (WBS) is utilized to manage the project activities effectively. The time-phased budget allocates costs for various activities across the project timeline to monitor budget vs. actual costs. Desklib provides access to this and other solved assignments for students.

5. Time-phased budget
Time phase budget helps in allowing the project managers in allocating costs for various activities of the
project over the anticipated timeline so that the entire expenditure is planned in order to take place (Sequeira &
Lopes, 2015). Time phase budget not only assists in uniting project schedule with the project with the project budget
but it also helps in monitoring budget vs actual cost with the progress of the project for gaining clear insight into
potential cost overruns. The time phase budget for renovating and expanding the business facility is provided in the
