Blog Post 3 – Project Planning and Scheduling

Another update regarding our project!

We are in the process of coming up with designs that will satisfy our client’s wishes for the office and meeting space renovation. Just a few weeks ago, we met with our client contact, Mike Fricker, of NS ConneXions. Having taken a thorough look at what we will be working with, and gained answers to many of our questions regarding his preferences for the design, we are now well on our way to finding a design solution. Below is a photo that we took of our workspace:

The space as it is now: a woodshop

Our plan was to first see the space we will be reworking, and to meet the client. This would then give us needed information to begin brainstorming ideas. After producing several designs, we will present the concepts directly to the client, to gain the best idea of what he would like, and to determine what we should include in our final design. Following this, we will take measurements at the site, and work to produce our final concept design.

The scheduling is flexible, but currently we are aiming to have our preliminary designs complete in 2 weeks. Following that, we will work to finish our project, likely within 2 to 3 more weeks.

Hi,

Great to hear that you’ve met with the client and have a plan. Being flexible is good, for sure. Make sure, though, that you know all the steps you need to take in order to complete the project so that you are not left rushing at the end!

How does this project compare with the “flow” of the CIVL 201 project? Do you think you are learning more about project management?

I’m looking forward to seeing some of your conceptual designs.

Regards,
SN
