Construction Project Charter: Kitchen Remodeling Insights

1 MGT 312 FINAL PROJECT CONSTRUCTION CHARTER Ingrid Camacho Introduction to Project Management MGT-312-OL01 Dr. Laque Perkins

2 Abstract Construction Charter was chosen as the final project for this class because of the familiarity to the work expectation that is required to complete this project. As a prospective project manager, it is essential to have the experience and knowledge to create a framework with the client/customer when it involves remodeling a home kitchen. This includes communication and meeting minutes to understand exactly what the customer wants, goals, objectives and expectations to successfully complete this project. From personal experience, our home recently encountered backyard and front yard remodeling. The project consisted of flattening the ground, installing two retaining walls, creating steps for convenient entry path, creating steps from the street to the front door, and creating a patio overhead for shade. In addition to meeting these goals for the customer, the construction team was required to remove fences to easily access the work area, conduct safety checks on property line for the surrounding properties and team members, provide tools and equipment to complete milestones and conditions, and provide documentation or citations required to complete work. In order to meet all the requirements mentioned above, team members were required to understand their roles and responsibilities by conducting briefings, gather data, team certifications for special tools and equipment, and research of the home/backyard space. While the work was being conducted to the front and backyard, issues and changes were reported to the project manager who will then communicate with the client of the constraints that hinder the progress of the project. This communication allows for both parties to analyze and

3 deliberate changes that are required to complete milestones. As like any other project, a budget was established between the client and the project manager. We as the client, set our budget to $30,000 and listed the milestone we wanted for our front and backyard. The project manager surveyed the area and was able to meet our requirements within budget. Overall, the project was complete with little to no changes, was completed under budget, no safety mishaps and within timeline. The construction charter was chosen for the reason that there is experience and knowledge within the industry. Like any construction project, there are predictions that constraints may be present during the progress of the project. References Heldman, K. (2018). Project Management Jumpstart 4th edition.

4 Work Breakdown Structure The Work Breakdown Structure is a roadmap that defines all the work needed to complete the project. This visual aid helps the team maintain focus of what comes up next after a deliverable is met. Below is the WBS for the Kitchen Remodel Project.

5 Schedule Baseline – Demolition Phase The schedule baseline is a visual aid that helps prevent scope creep and keep focus on the project milestones. The integration of a baseline maintains the work on the project flow smoothly and efficiently. Below is the schedule baseline for the demolition phase and the installation phase of the project.

7 AON Diagram The Activity on Node (AON) diagram is like a map constructed with nodes and arrows. This visual aid determines the flow of the project. The team can benefit from this diagram by checking them off or crossing them out to keep track of how the project is progressing. Below is the AON diagram for the Kitchen Remodel Project.

8 Cost Estimate – Demolition Phase A cost estimate is a cost breakdown that is required to complete the milestones of the project and can help budget to maintain within the clients budget. This is a visual aid to help plan and prioritize the development of the kitchen remodel. Cost Estimate – Installation Phase

11 Project Title: Kitchen Construction Charter Date Prepared: December 15, 2023 Identified Risks Risk identification helps the Project Manager identify the risks and the possibility of the risk occurring that may or may not impact the progress of the project. Below is the identified risks for the Kitchen Remodel Project and their impact. 1. Walls require extensive repair before installing new cabinets. 2. Issues with the electrical work. Appliances and lighting fixtures affected. 3. Electrical city inspection fails. 4. Linoleum flooring – excessive damage discovered when old flooring is removed. 5. Door/Window Installation 6. Range hood 7. Project completed beyond 30 days. 8. Contingency fund of $2,500 not enough. 9. Supply/materials/tools not available. 10. General contractor provides 2 employees.

12 PROJECT RISK MATRIX RISK ID RISK STATEMENT PROBABILITY IMPACT OVERALL SCORE 001 If the walls require extensive repair, then monitor the amount of time and supplies required to maintain within budget Medium Medium 3 002 If there are issues with electrical repairs, then buy more supplies to fix the issues. Low High 4 003 If the city inspection fails, then the electrical contractor will fix the issues needed to be resolved in order to pass the inspection. Low High 4 004 If the flooring is damaged prior to flooring installation, then repairs must be made to the bare floor. Additional equipment will need to be used Medium Medium 3 005 If the door/window too large to be installed in the old frame, then additional equipment must be used to accommodate the new door/window Medium Medium 3 006 If the new range hood is not the same size as the old range hood, a professional roofer will need to be hired to make necessary adjustments to the roof. High High 5 007 If the completion of the project is estimated to be completed beyond 30 days, then a meeting with the client is mandatory to manage the schedule on the project. Low High 4 008 If the contingency fund for managing risks is more than the $2,500, then a meeting with the client is mandatory to identify the priorities the client wants the team to focus on. Low Medium 2 009 If any supply, materials or tools are not available to complete a job, then the team will look for alternatives or vendors they can use to complete the job. Low Low 1 010 If the general contractor only has 2 employees to complete the project objectives (a sick employee), then the 2 employees will complete jobs that only require 1 or 2 workers to keep project progressing or client will be notified if the project is at risk of taking longer timeframe and will identify their priorities. Low Medium 2

14 Conclusion The kitchen remodel project is not at all complex. Hiring a professional team to complete the milestones necessary to complete the project is crucial. A knowledgeable team can complete a project such as the remodel project in a reasonable time. The development of this project is estimated to be completed in half the time as requested by the client which in turn will give adequate time in between to resolve any risks the team may come across. The project was estimated to be completed in a little over $19,000 which gives extra wiggle room to cover additional costs on repairs, tools and materials. Overall, the project is a complete success that leaves the team content with the completion of their professional work and the client satisfied with their remodeled kitchen. References Heldman, K.
