Chapter 18, Problem 10RQE

Q#: Differentiate between rough and detailed cost estimate with examples.

Q# Discuss about stakeholders of Construction project

There are many procedures in Quality Management. Give an example procedure in construction to achieve the quality objectives of the project. Write a short essay/reaction on the given procedure.

Describe the project delivery method?

The contractor implements last planner on the project. During week 1, the following tasks are planned and committed by different subcontractors. At the end of week 1, the status of the tasks is also shown in the following table. What is the percent plan complete (PPC) for week 1? Explain what PPC measures?     Committed on Completion Progress Completion? Mobilize Yes 100% Yes Install Security Fence Yes 100% Yes Set Forms Yes 80% No Excavate Planter Foundation Yes 100% Yes Construct Masonry Planter Yes 50% No

Project closeout is the final construction phase of the project lifecycle. This phase occurs after physical construction has been completed, but before the project is actually turned over to the owner. Identify and discuss the activities necessary to ensure a smooth project close out. Give appropriate examples such as charts or diagrams.

4. Project managers have many resources that are not directly under their control, such as the designer and the owner. Provide at least 5 bulleted points describing in detail how project managers can manage (influence) resources outside of their control or above them in the contractual hierarchy. 5. For the following simple seven-activity project, develop a precedence network, calculate all relevant characteristics of each activity (ES, EF, LS, LF, TF), and calculate the project duration. Then draw a time-scaled network and under it a labor resource histogram for the ES. Do the same for the LS. In both cases, use the maximum allowable number of workers. Make adjustments to the noncritical activities, within the constraints of the ES and LF and the maximum and minimum workers allowed to provide what you feel is the best labor distribution. Please use Table B (Table B.pdf) Lastly, Explain in detail what do you feel is the biggest problem with the ES and LS configurations, and how has…

Outline probable cost component and all possible consideration to establish budget proposal for a typical project and relate in practice methods/combination of charges for engineering services (select type of project).

Draw manually a WBS for your assumed building project. Mention duration for each activity of your project and total completion time.
