Task 1
Compile a schedule for the construction of a tilt up slab car service facility as per the photos attached. Use MS Project (available in the Computer Lab in Room 5.133). The schedule should contain at least five Level One demarcations within the project, and span from site preparation works, through to final fitout and lock up. The project is to commence on 1st January 2018. Use your engineering expertise to estimate the time period in days for each task you designate.
The site working week is 50 hours, being ten hours each working day, with no weekend or public holiday work. The working day commences at 7am and finishes at 5:30pm with a half hour lunch break.
Within the MS_Project submission include a customised WBS.
Submit a A3 hard copy printout of the following :
• Gantt chart showing all labour and materials needed to complete the works. The Gantt chart must include a lag, a milestone (other than “Start” and “Finish”), the WBS displayed on the “Entry” task sheet, notes, and the resources for each task displayed in the Gantt chart.
• Baselined Gantt chart for the logical completion of the construction, clearly showing the critical path. Set the first two Level One tasks to 100% complete, and a further Level Two task to 10 hours work completed. (1 mark)
• Cost overview dashboard showing the total cost, remaining cost and percentage complete.
• Succinct report explaining the logic of how the construction goes together, and any assumptions. Explain any overallocations that had to be cleared.

Constraints and Information
Two multi-skilled labourers undertake the majority of the work at a charge out rate of $80 per hour.
Any work unable to be completed by the labourers to be undertaken by sub contract teams. The teams are to be charged at four times the rate of the labourers.
Craneage is provided by the individual sub contractors and as such is included in the sub contract team rate.
Concrete is poured by the labourers. Cost per 5m3 premix truck is $1200.
There are 16 precast panels enclosing the workshop. The panels are delivered to site as a pair on a truck. 4 panels per day can be off loaded, located and braced.
The footprint of the structure is 30m x 10.8m.
