Work on a construction project that you are familiar with, one that you either have been involved in or an example project that you have chosen based on your research. You are encouraged to also consider a project that involves community engagement (e.g., your experience after being involved in a community service or volunteer work). The project scope should be large enough to satisfy the following requirements:
- Prepare a 1- to 2-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).
- 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 except for the project level as the first layer.. 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 except for the project level as the first layer. The WBS should contain a minimum of 10 WBS elements at the lowest level of the breakdown structure. Consider including WBS elements such as to design, procure, construct, install, and commission, as well as the higher-level WBS.
Submission requirements:
- Format your entire paper according to the CSU Global Writing Center.
- Be clear, concise, and focused. Be sure to organize your writing properly and include an introduction; headings/subheadings for the body of your work; analysis and recommendations (if applicable); a conclusion; list of references; and an appendix.
