Work Break down Structure (WBS)

The techniques used to break the mage task in to small sub task. For this decomposition techniques is used which is as follow:

DecompositionBreakdown project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components is called decomposition. Breakdown should not be done until the cost and schedule for the work can be reliably estimated. The level of detail for work packages will depend on the size and complexity of the project.

We would break each big checkpoint of the blueprint into smaller parts so that each milestone is completed in the shortest available time as given in the project details. The tasks have been divided into sub tasks and modules.

Example,

Design is breakdown into inner and outer categories.

Utilities into plumbing, electrical.

This also helps in keeping track record or progress of how much work is completed at a specific time and weather we are behind the schedule or not.

Work breakdown structure is as follow:

Figure 1 the Time Management Process

In order to ensure timely completion of projects, there are six planning activities:

Defining Activities:

Activity definition was used to identify the specific work packages which must be performed to complete each deliverable.

Activities performed as a part of this construction project includes:

Foundations: clear site, excavate, and pour concrete.

Structure: brickwork, plastering, floor, window/roof frame, glass, doors and windows.

Electrics: power points, lights, TV sockets.

Plumbing: radiators, PVC.

Finishing: window silts, looks & handles, skirting boards, wood works, decorating.

Construction complete.

Sequencing Activities:

Activity sequencing was used to determine the order of work packages and assign relationships between project activities.

Sequencing of activities performed as a part of this construction project include:

1. Pre-construction

2. Construction starts

3. Foundation

4. Construction of concrete columns

5. Construction of internal/external walls

6. Construction of roof

7. Mechanical and electrical works

8. Paint/polish the house

9. Handover works.

Network Diagram

A schematic display of the logical relationships among project activities and sequencing of project activities. Activity on Arrow technique was used in this project as to communicate with the contractor easily.

Estimating Activity Resources:

The process used for estimating the type and quantities of material, people, equipment and supplies required to perform each activity. The techniques adapted for identification of resources are as follow:

Expert Judgment

Experts are those individuals or group who possess specialized knowledge or training in a particular area. In project management, experts are either part of the project (i.e. project manager) or involved (i.e. stakeholders) in project processes.

Type of resource

Requirement

Human resource For all activities human resource is required to make the project team and to utilize labor for project. Include daily wage labors and other contractor expenses.

Software Required for designing the house such as 3D mapping software.

13

resources

Transportation resources

Required for material delivery purposes such as truckloads of cement, sand, bricks.

Materials Materials required include cement, bricks, sand, and gravel.

Equipment Machinery required for completion of processes such as mixing of cement or ground breaking.

Estimating Activity Duration

Activity duration estimating will be used to calculate the number of work periods required to complete work packages. The techniques adapted for estimation of duration are as follow:

Analogous estimation

Analogous estimation was used of a similar past project to estimate the duration of our current project. Activities durations performed as a part of this construction project consisted of:

Activity Duration estimate (days)

Pre-construction arrangements 01Jan - 20Jan (20 days to go)

Start of construction works 21Jan - 28Feb (59 days to go)

Completion of foundation & start of wall/column construction 01Mar - 15Mar (74 days to go)

Completion of wall and columns 16Mar - 10Apr (100 days to go)

14

Completion of roof 11Apr - 30Apr (120 days to go)

Building is ready for fitting 01May - 31May (151 days togo)

Completion of construction project 01Jun - 30Jun (181 days to go)

Developing the Schedule

Was used for analyzing activity sequences, activity resource estimates, and activity duration estimates to create the project schedule.

Important tools and techniques include Gantt charts, critical path analysis, critical chain scheduling, and PERT analysis.

Schedule to be developed as part of this construction project consists of a Gantt chart including milestones and tasks list. The techniques adapted for developing the schedule are as follow:

GANTT CHART

Figure 3 the list of milestones for construction project

15

Figure 4 the task list for construction project

Controlling the Schedule:Used for controlling and managing changes to the project schedule.

Therefore different aspects must be integrated into the schedule controlling:

"the current status of the project schedule" Currently the project is just completed and is delivering to the expectations of

stakeholders. "the factors that create schedule changes”

o E.g. an expansion in project scope will increase the work of the project, which will affect both the project costs and the project schedule.

o "the actual changes as they occur"o none

Schedule Management Approach

Project schedules will be created starting with the deliverables identified in the project’s Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Activity definition was used to identify the specific work packages which were performed to complete each deliverable. Activity sequencing was used to determine the order of work packages and assign relationships between project activities. Activity duration estimating was used to calculate the number of work periods required to complete work packages. Resource estimating was used to assign resources to work packages in order to complete schedule development. Once a preliminary schedule was developed, it was reviewed by the project team and any resources tentatively assigned to project tasks. The project team and

16

resources agreed to the proposed work package assignments, durations, and schedule. Once this was achieved the project sponsor reviewed and approved the schedule and it was then base lined.

Risk management strategies

Project risk management is the art and science of identifying, analyzing, and responding to risk throughout the life of the project and in best interest of meeting the projects. Our project is inherently risky but, it is argued, is less technically complex than projects in industries such as software, defense and engineering. This is because it is simply about using specialists in design and construction to produce a project within a specified timescale.

Identifying risk

It is the process of understanding what potential events might hurt our project. The technique use in order to identify the risk is as follow:

Brainstorming

In this method we will have a group allocated to give us certain ideas on how to overcome our risk factors or to find a solution to these specific problems. Every single person participates in it and share us with the ideas.

An experienced facilitator is set in order to set the brain storming session occurred.

Risk Register

After we are done with risk identification process we will make risk registers which need identified risks and the other information. This is a document used to display in a table or spread sheet format:
