1. Introduction
Whether the task is large or small, the essential approach to the task of project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet requirements. With a defined start point and end date as a project manager the following issues are kept in mind of any project; the environment, how the project is defined, the planning of the project and whether the project management is adequate or adequately controlled.
Project management knowledge draws on areas in cost, time, scope, stakeholder management, quality, integration, communications and risk management and all of these things will be addressed in my report in regards to my chosen issue of a major re-construction of large importance …show more content…
The operational issue which effects the bottom line of the profit and loss reports significantly is the variable costs due to utilities, the largest being water. A project to construct two new catchments for water runoff which are designed as lakes for the golf course would reduce the water utility while fitting the goal in redefining the club by renovating the course to create 7 modernised holes. Currently water bills have a mean monthly bill of $17,500 which equates to $2.23 p/kL equaling 7500-8000 kL of water expenditure per month; the proposed self sufficient system can decrease the expenditure of all Course (not Clubhouse) water expenditure which in turn would reduce the bill to only a remaining 500-700 kL p/month of water for Clubhouse use. Planned bills are to save NRGC about $16,000 a month in water but increase electricity by approx $500 a quarter for the dam …show more content…
weather. The main construction decision is whether a clay lining is to be used in the dams or a synthetic lining, the difference being $120,000 collectively for both dams, synthetic being more expensive. To source the specialized type of clay can be subject to market supply and has known to have impact on other Golf Club’s projects in which we are benchmarking our own decisions. Sourcing clay has been advised if in short supply can significantly halter construction and if tests of naturally occurring clay within our own resources proves to be inaccurate i.e. tests are taken from the wrong areas of the course, then a dilemma can arise. To counter this is to plan for this occurrence and have a supplementary plan in using crashing activities by incurring extra costs to accelerate progress at periods
