...Final Project- Kitchen Renovation Mary Shaw Project Overview: This project involves the remodeling of the kitchen by removing current walk in pantry and moving it to the other side of the kitchen. This remodel also includes making dining room space out of area where the old panty was. We are also relocating the laundry room and adding a powder room. We will be replacing the fixtures, tiles, adding doors and a toilet and sink. Our objective is to create a whole new environment and one that is accommodating us with the evolving changes in our lives also as one that offers a feeling of comfort and family on a daily basis. Problem/ Result Statement: There is currently no dining room for family dinners or every day meals; there is no bathroom accessible without going through the master bedroom or guest room. Also the current location of laundry room interferes with the TV when the dryer or washer machine is running and it is hard to hear the TV. This new remodel will open up the living area and give the space a more warm inviting homey space. Mission Justification: The mission is to build a family foundation that emanates a spiritual strength which focuses on promoting a sense of peace and tranquility with oneself. The remodeling of the kitchen will undoubtedly reflect this philosophy because the new dining room, addition of powder room and relocating the laundry room will change the feel and look of the house. By now having a dining room we...

The chapter points out that recent interest in project management is based on a recognition that many organizational tasks do not fit neatly into business-as-usual. The significant differences between project management and general management are overviewed. The three interrelated objectives of budget, schedule, and specifications are also introduced. In addition, two alternative project life cycles are presented and the importance of understanding this distinction is discussed. Also included in the chapter is a discussion of project selection including both non-numeric and numeric selection methods. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the aggregate project plan and an overview of the organization of the remainder of the text.
