PROJECT INFORMATION:

PROJECT:

Home Sweet Home

REPORTING PERIOD

May 20th, 2016

PLANNED PROJECT START DATE

April 18th, 2016

PROJECT OBJECTIVE:

The project objective is the first part of the project scope, which sets the stage for developing a

project plan, and answers the questions of what, when, and how much. The project objective is to

successfully plan, organize, and complete the design of Mary Jo and Liam’s dream home within

a 2-month period, without exceeding a cost of $300,000.00. The objective should include

defining the work tasks, sequence of work, construction methods, roles, responsibilities and

planning of resources to complete the work as per schedule.

DELIVERABLES:

Deliverables are expected outputs over the life of the project. During the early design phase of

the project is a list of specifications. Here are the main requirements Mary Jo and Liam Spencer

have for their dream home:

2500 square foot home consisting of 3 bedrooms, 2 4-piece and 1 2-piece washroom

Additional finished basement containing guest suite, 4-piece washroom, theater room and

games room

Modern chef’s kitchen with appliances, such as dishwasher, refrigerator, gas burner grill,

double wall oven, wine fridge and microwave

Hardwood and ceramic throughout, with in floor heating, as set out in plan

2nd floor laundry area with high efficiency front load washer and dryer

High efficiency HEPA furnace, central air, and central vacuum

Attached 2 car garage, concrete driveway, with curbs and lighting

12X18 outdoor concrete deck between pool and the back of the house

In-ground rectangular swimming pool 18X28 with 3-foot concrete deck and iron fence, will

be full responsibility of pool contractor, as set out in purchase agreement

MILESTONES:

Milestones are significant events in a project that occur at a point in time. Applying the

deliverables as a stage, milestone schedules identify major segments of the work and an

appropriate completion date.

Approval of electrical, plumbing, mechanical and framing inspections: Delayed – June 13 to

June 18

Final inspections: Delayed – July 10

Move in date: Delayed – July 11

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project has been on schedule and on budget until May 20th, 2016. On May 18th, trades

professionals arrived to complete work on the roof, scheduled for 4 days’ duration. Terrible

down pours and extreme weather postponed work on May 20th, causing flooding on the work

site. Side contractors were brought on site to pump out flooded areas, and clean-up work site,

due to the backup of loose dirt and building materials, caused by the flooding. This delayed the

overall project by 2 weeks, 14 days overall.

Michelle Simpson Project Status Report August 8, 2016

ACTUAL COST WORKSHEET

CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

APPROACH CHANGES

Extreme down pours and terrible weather over several days, caused flooding throughout the job

site. As the property was not landscaped, to handle severe weather, materials had become

displaced, damaged, and clean-up became necessary. Causing the job site closure for trades

professionals to continue, due to unforeseen safety infractions.

Side contractors were brought in to pump out flooded areas, dry interior of building, relocate

materials, assess damages, and make any necessary repairs within 10 days. This delayed the

project by 16 days overall and had an additional cost of $30,000.00.

This situation educated us regarding job site layouts, preparations, receiving materials in

advance, unexpected weather conditions, their severity, and safety preparations. Placing

necessary materials in a secure location, maintaining only necessary materials on site, monitoring

sewage systems of possible blockage before, and during bad weather will lower unexpected

expenses such as this. Allowing for safety measures, such as sub pumps, sand bags, retaining

walls, to be put in place prior to any major damage. However, it will not eliminate it completely,

as weather is extremely hard to determine and relocate.

PERFORMANCE VARIANCE

The program evaluation review technique chart provides the best possible strategy to complete

the entire project efficiently. During the project management plan we reviewed this strategy and

felt it may cause interference with other trade professionals, therefore, this strategy was ruled

out. If this strategy was initiated, the project would have been further along at the time of the

severe weather. Causing little to no damage or delays, as trade professionals would have been

able to complete interior work during the storm. This provides us with a different view on

following a program evaluation review technique in future endeavors.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS OR PROBLEMS

The project was well underway prior to the severe weather and flooding. Insulation and drywall

are not completed until after the roof, siding, soffits and fascia. Therefore, there was very little

damage to the overall structure. Sewage drains had to be snaked and pumped out, which

provides additional safety for the customers’ in the future, ensuring reliability.

STATUS ASSESSMENT

The project is delayed by 2 weeks, 14 days at this time. It is the only delay we have experienced

and therefore, the project is well on its way to completion. Mary Jo and Liam Spencer currently

reside with Mary Jo’s parents and therefore this delay is disappointing, however, it isn’t a huge

inconvenience.

Michelle Simpson Project Status Report August 8, 2016

Greetings Michelle,

The status report provides a record of current achievements and immediate expectations of the project. It provides

an accurate history of the project, effectively communicates to all interested parties the status of the project, and

integrates progress tracking, change control and issue management. The project status reports cover:

* Accomplishment this period,

* Items not completed this period,

* Planned/ proposed activities for the next period,

* New issues identified this reporting period from the project issues log,

* Any issues resolved this period from the project issues log,

* Identification of any predicted slippage to the schedule, along with cause and corrective action,

* Any predicted cost overview, along with cause and corrective action

I have reviewed your third assignment, and once again, I am very pleased with the quality of your work. I found

your topic and approach quite interesting and inspiring. Your project status report example is very clear, concise and

up to the point. The report is based on facts and measures, which demonstrate actual progress of the project. It is a

good example of application of what have been learnt to the course work related project. My only comment is that

you consider advantages of adopting an Earned Value system reporting on your future projects. In my opinion, A+

is the fair reward for your effort.

I am glad that you have completed all assignments required for this course. As the semester winds down, I would

appreciate if you could take a few minutes to complete our “Online Course Evaluation” survey. Your input is

included in our course review process each semester. Please be sure to complete the course evaluation

questionnaire before the course end date. Also, be assured that these evaluations are anonymous. To access the

online evaluation form, please go to the course home page and follow the instructions.

Once again, congratulations for good work.

Sincerely,

Jovica
