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.

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.

PROGRAM EVALUATION REVIEW TECHNIQUE (PERT) CHART
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
