Garage Apartment Project

1

The following project is to build a garage apartment building (new stand-alone building) on existing land. This project is to be the basis for assignments in IT401. The project is described below. This project will follow a standard home construction project WBS similar to the one shown below. This WBS is meant to be a template, not the specific WBS for the project which will be one of your assignments.

1. Assume that you already have the property and it is paid for so do not include the cost of the real estate in your calculations.

2. Assume that utilities such as water, sewage, and electric are available to the property. You will only need to schedule the connections to theses utilities.

3. Assume that all applicable building codes and regulations will be followed for permits and inspections.

4. Assume that you have a complete set of blueprints and an approved building permit. All you need to do is schedule the actual construction. (Hint: the start milestone could be “Building permit received.”).

Build a 2- car garage with an apartment/office on the second floor on your existing building lot in accordance with applicable building codes. The start date is 01 Feb 18 and a planned finish date of 30 Jun 10. The budget for construction is $160,000.
