EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)
While this study looks at the need for affordable housing in the City of Belmopan, we
emphasize that housing availability and affordability is a greater issue needing a
comprehensive solution.
The acute shortage of housing which is affordable to the city’s
workforce has a direct impact on the economy and the city. The lack of affordable housing is
a contributing factor to businesses’ struggle to recruit new employees and retain existing
employees; the supply of housing is falling far short of the demand and there is little incentive
for developers to produce affordable housing either for low-moderate income persons or even
for "middle income" persons.
The roots of the affordable housing problem are complex. Dependence upon local property
taxes creates a disincentive for those in the community to allow growth which includes
families.
Local land use regulation and a shortage of developable land create barriers to a
logical market response to the demand for new construction.
In the project Dria’s Consultancy Firm (DCF) was employed to undertake the rewarding task
of providing support for the housing affordability project.
The firm first opened its doors in
February of 2015. Since then DCF contributed to varied numbers of projects in different
regards.
Dria’s Consultancy Firm used various project management tools with guidelines required by
construction management.
Upon having the charter signed, execution was set to begin with a
formal project management plan to guide all of the critical aspects of the project’s lifecycle. In
attempts to successfully deliver the eight-unit, complex housing design project, a project
management plan was developed and meticulously executed to ensure maximum fulfilment.
The greater objective is to create a project management plan for the project as it fosters
affordable housing for the working-class.
The specific objectives were to create a project charter that officially authorizes the project
and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to the
project in order to produce the Project Management Plan to develop a scope management
plan to ensure that all objectives of the project are maintained during the project lifecycle; to
develop a schedule management plan that will aid in the development and management of a successful project; to create a time management plan which ensures that the project is
completed as scheduled; to develop a cost management plan to make sure the project is
within budget; to design a quality management plan to make certain that all resources needed
to complete the project successfully are available; to develop a human resource plan to
ensure that all human resources are identified and effectively managed; to create a
communications management plan to ensure that lines of communications and the project
performance are properly documented; to develop sustainable procurement management
plan for identifying and assigning contracts to suppliers who are able to procure sustainable
goods and services; to construct a stakeholder management plan that documents the
interaction between stakeholders and processes used to manage issues identified on the
project.
The PMP was developed using the PMBOK® Guide 6th Edition.
This provides a new
methodology for the project team to build a more thorough project management plan for a
project as important as one as such that is bound make a difference, and to improve the way
the company would manage the project.
It is recommended that the project team at Dria
Consultancy Firm consider the use of the planning process and documents developed during
the development of the Project Management Plan to build the housing complex as a
foundation for implementing a methodology for similar projects in the future.
With all the
various elements in place, a successful project was developed.
In conclusion, the knowledge areas outlined in the PMBOK® Guide 6th Edition utilized and to
create a fully developed project plan.
The various areas were integrated for the purpose of the
project plan to demonstrate cohesion. The plan creates a method of organization and to
assist in producing a project that is successful in customer satisfaction, schedule and budget.
