Project Constraints

Lack of enough time to complete milestones. Since the project works on estimated time, the project is exposed to the risk of falling behind schedule if one phase of the projects slacks.

Lack of enough capital. Since funding will mainly come from different stakeholders, reliance on them as a source of funding exposes the project to delays when a stakeholder fails behind in their payments.

. The project is a labour intensive project thus having reliable skilled and non-skilled workers will be paramount in making sure the project does not stall.

Ethical and Social Responsibility considerations

Reduction in carbon footprints through the use of solar energy and biogas as the main source of lighting and heating for the houses.

85% of supplies for the project, including labor and construction materials will mainly come from established manufacturers or suppliers from the Denver locality as a mode of benefiting the local environment.

The Lake housing will also prioritize the needs of local citizens concerning the project, for example effect of the project on social integration during the planning phase of the project.

Dear Sir

I hereby write to provide a general overview of the Work Breakdown Structure for the Lake House Project (LHP). The project will mainly involve four resources including General contractor, Architect, Owner, & Mortgage lender. The project will start immediately after the finalization of plans and development of estimates among the management and external stakeholders. This will be followed by the application of necessary from authorities responsible in Denver including HVAC permit. The provision will be followed by the site work for preparation of the main construction site. This involves clearing and grubbing the unnecessary lot and installing ground and power service. Accomplishment of this step will be an important process in supporting establishment of the main foundation for the housing units including excavating and laying foundation for basement walls. This notion will be followed by framing and Dry In. The exterior walls finishing will be the next step which will be done concurrently with the plumbing and interior finishing. The last stage will involve landscaping and ground works which involves installing backyard fences and establishing concrete driveways and sidewalks. Finally, the project manager will evaluate and submit a final report on the project whereby the deliverables will be assessed for their quality.

Attached is a a visualization of the WBS including the critical paths for the project.
