Project Name
Construction of Residential Complex in Queensland, Australia
Project Justification
The completion of the project would result in forming the residential complex suitable for
people’s living with all required facility. The construction projects are developed for the
implication of the operations for the deployment of the effective construction activities. The
project completion would help in yielding the effective and improved operations. The
construction project would yield in using the concepts of project management for developing the
final project.
Project Description
The residential complex construction project is aligned with the implication of the
construction project management operations. The implication of the construction activities would
help in easing the project operations development. The tender documentation is followed by a
project schedule and cost report that would provide a detail overview of the project scheduling
and the cost estimation. The project scheduling 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.
