Construction Planning & Scheduling – Building a Shed

  Description: Read the following case study and familiarize yourself with the scope of work described in the case study here. Prepare a one- or two-page project description summarizing the scope, intended use, and overall plans. In your summary, identify and describe the elements of the construction work (e.g., building elements / systems such as type of foundation, structure, finishes, interiors, and exteriors as well as description of construction materials to be used). Also, provide one or two paragraphs to describe the overall sequence of work. Prepare a deliverable-oriented WBS for your project with a minimum of three layers of breakdown. The WBS should contain a minimum of 15 WBS elements at the lowest level of the breakdown structure. Prepare a functional (i.e., process-oriented) WBS for your project with a minimum of two layers of breakdown. The WBS should contain a minimum of 10 WBS elements at the lowest level of the breakdown structure. Consider including WBS elements such as design, procure, construct, install, and commission among the higher-level WBS elements.
