Project Planning and Budgeting: Bungalow Construction Project

This project planning and budgeting assignment focuses on the design and construction of a bungalow. The project's objectives are to develop a blueprint, recruit labor, and construct the bungalow based on provided specifications. The assignment includes a project scope statement defining the project's boundaries, a work breakdown structure (WBS) to organize the project tasks, and a network diagram illustrating task dependencies. A detailed project schedule is provided, outlining task durations, start and finish dates, predecessors, and associated costs. The schedule encompasses various phases, from planning and proposal development to execution, including site preparation, foundation laying, wall construction, roofing, and interior finishing. The budget allocates resources for labor, materials, and other expenses. The project also addresses risk management and stakeholder management. The project concludes with closing activities, including final payments and project sign-off. A bibliography of relevant project management literature is included.
