©Dr. Ahmad Jrade 1 Civil Engineering CVG 4173A Construction Management Group Case Project Fall 2019 XYZ Manufacturing Inc. is one of the leading manufacturers of steering wheels, air bags, and shift levers. Located in Oakville, Ontario, XYZ provides services to some of the largest car companies in the world such as, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, and General Moto
rs. The company’s ever-
growing need for production has resulted in the greater need for warehouse and manufacturing space. Currently, XYZ Manufacturing Inc. is interested in building an additional 80,000 square foot warehouse to accommodate these needs. The 80,000 square foot addition in Oakville, Ontario will be added to an existing 194,000 square foot facility. This addition will provide adequate space for state-of-the-art equipment essential to the growing needs of the company. Located on the south east corner of the existing site, the addition will not only provide work space but also additional parking for new employees. To carry out the construction, a section of existing hot mix asphalt will have to be removed along with other site obstructions. The proposed building will allow XYZ Manufacturing Inc. to stay competitive in their area of expertise. As an expert, XYZ Manufacturing Inc. would like you to use the provided 3D model (Autodesk Revit 2018 version) and specifications to generate a report that contains details about the following requirements: •
Identify the quantities of material required for construction, •
The total cost of the project,
©Dr. Ahmad Jrade 2 •
The scope of the work by using a compatible WBS and by identifying all the associated work packages needed to build the warehouse, •
A work plan that shows the sequence of execution (sequential order of the construction activities), •
The construction time required to finish the project. To ease the difficulty of this case study, the assigned groups will need to complete the following modules in due course. This will help you overcome carried forward mistakes especially since all the case components are dependent on each other. Also, this will allow groups to correct or modify any items before the final submission. Each group may have different answers, and thus the grading is based on the methodology followed. Use the provided model to complete the following: •
Module 1 (Due on 05 November 2019)
: o
Create a WBS that will help determine the scope of all the project work, o
Calculate excavation and backfilling quantities, o
Calculate a preliminary cost estimate by using R. S. Means, o
Create a quantity takeoff list for all items, •
Module 2 (Due on 19 November 2019)
: o
Determine the machinery required in excavation and backfilling, o
Identify the productivity of each machine and determine the time required to operate each machine based on quantities, o
Calculate the remaining quantities and the costs required for the whole work packages (identified in the WBS), •
Module 3 (Due on 3 December 2019)
: o
Identify the labor crews required by each work package (identified in the WBS), o
Identify the crew size required for each work package, o
Identify the productivity of each crew per package, o
Identify the time required to construct each work package based on the calculated productivities, o
Develop a network using MS project (based on the WBSs) that indicates the time for each work package, o
Calculate the probability of finishing the project within the calculated duration,

The use of conventional highway materials faces challenges such as resource depletion and
environmental problems associated with their usage among other concerns.This calls for
research and development of other alternative materials for highway construction.
You are required to identify and discuss other alternative materials that could be used in
highway construction. These could be materials that are totally new and you are making a
proposal for its use or materials that are still under research or those that have been tested on
a small scale (trial sections) and so on. Basically, you are not limited.
Your discussion may include but not limited to: source of the materials, properties, usage and
application in highway construction, any foreseen pros and cons, previous results if already
tested, your own analysis/viewsetc.

You are the division manager of Sellwell Co.—a firm that has developed an inexpensive chemical spe
cialty that you hope will find a huge market as a household product. You want to package this product in
1 L and 2 L sizes. A number of container materials would appear to be practical—glass, aluminum, treated
paper, steel, and various types of plastic. A young engineer whom you hired recently and assigned to the
packaging department has done a container-disposal study that shows that the disposal cost for 2 L con
tainers can vary by a factor of three—depending on the weight of the container, whether it can be recycled,
whether it is easy to incinerate, whether it has good landfill characteristics, etc.
Your company’s marketing expert believes that the container material with the highest consumer ap
peal is the one that happens to present the biggest disposal problem and cost to communities. He estimates
that the sales potential would be at least 10% less if the…
