The project works would include the involvement of the construction project management along with the documentation and the formation of the operations. The complete project would involve 20 activities to be followed namely build dwarf walls, ceiling boards, ceiling joists, roof timbers, clear ground, door and windows frames, electrics, floor joists, floorboards, glazing, lay foundations, main walls, oversite concrete, painting, plastering, plumbing and heating, skirting, and tiles. The completion of the works would require individual work identification and the formation of the smart analysis of the activities. The clearing of the ground would be effectively deployed for taking care of the site and removal of the wastage. The perimeter would be developed around the construction works where apart from people working on projects should not be allowed. It would help in mitigating the possibility of the accident at the construction site.

The laying of foundation is the first construction work executed at the project site. The digging of holes and eradicating the pillars would be primary job for the project team members. The workers would form the building structure with the iron pillars and the dug foundations would be solidified. The dwarf walls would be developed for boundary of the Bungalow. The Bungalow would be constructed with the alignment of the works and the formation of the smart work management. The concrete walls would be effectively constructed with the help of the contractor and the construction materials and equipment. The oversite concrete would be helpful for developing concrete base and mixing it for constructing the structure. The development of the concrete wall would allow the formation of the structure and covering the pillars with solid cement. The floor joists would be constructed with the help of equipment.

Cost Management Planning

The flooring of the Bungalow would be done for aligning the work later. The floor would be constructed and aligned with the construction of the main walls. The main walls would be constructed using the construction raw materials developed at oversite concrete. After that the door and windows frames would be carved out. The completed Bungalow would include doors and windows and the construction of the frames and framework would be effectively helpful. Later on the ceiling joists would be developed considering the implication of the roof timbers for shed. The ceiling and floor works can be done side by side and it would help in completing the work faster. The laying of the tiles would be done later on supporting the implication of the cement and tiles all over the floors of the Bungalow. Apart from floors, any other part of the Bungalow requiring the laying of the tiles would be done also.

The floorboards would be effectively developed using the required wood and timber. The construction would involve the hiring of the mason for executing the floorboard works at the Bungalow. The mason would also be helpful for ceiling board activities. The ceiling joists would be added with the boards for ensuring that the work is effectively employed. The Bungalow construction would be aligned with the small works like skirting, glazing, plastering, electrics, plumbing and heating, and painting. The activities would consume specific work people to be included in the Bungalow Project like carpenter, technician, painter, and plumber.

The cost management is a crucial factor defining the estimation of the resource usage and identification of a specific project budget aligning the management of the successful completion of the works. The cost management planning involves the following points,
