Project Outline

Hi everybody,

After going through the course outline, here is a rough list of what is required to be incorporated in our final hand-in and presentations.


Elements of Project Documentation:


1.      Feasibility Study

o   Find an empty plot/ existing large house to use for a new/re-development.
o   Create an architectural plan to the development.
o   State details of upgrade plans and programs.
o   Create a section of how Value Management will be applied to the project.
o   Determine the current and future value of the property.
o   Current value to be determined using a market valuation.
o   Future value determination unknown.

2.      Outline Construction Budget

o   Estimate the Cost of Construction (all costs, including marketing); taking into account:
o   Cash required for the duration of the project;
o   Estimates of all costs;
o   Details of contracts and contracting relationships;
o   Drawings and specifications;
o   The tender package, including tender process and award;
o   The application of Value Management


3.      Project Delivery Plan

The project delivery plan should reflect all activities over the entire lifecycle of the project. This should include:

o   A project plan in GANTT chart format, along with explanatory notes;
o   Construction and project management information;
o   General contracting details;
o   Value Management;

4.      Marketing Plan

Formulate a detailed marketing plan, focussing on marketing the project to potential funders, occupants and/or intermediaries. The marketing plan should include (or make reference to):

o   Architectural designs;
o   Details of upgrade programs;
o   Marketing activities;
o   Financial implications and projections for all parties.



Presentation:

The presentation should cover all aspects of  the project documentation, and should aim to give a convincing and articulate ‘pitch’ for your development concept. Presentations should be 20 minutes, and all group members must speak. The presentation should include:

o   The development concept and idea;
o   Financial feasibility;
o   Construction development plan; and
o   Marketing plans.

Emphasis will be placed on the overall creativity and professionalism of the presentation.
