Introduction
This project is about "House construction" project management plan. The
project management plan covers different aspects of house development
project. The first thing discloses in the paper is project background and
objectives. It will serve as a guide for the readers to understand the scenario
of the whole project. Moreover, it also covers the role of its key deliverables
and stakeholders. The roles and responsibilities of project team members are
discussed in respect of project key deliverables. Moreover, the paper also
covers an important part of project management plan which is project time
management. The main motive behind the discussion of project time
management is to understand project work breakdown structure, Gantt chart,
network diagram and critical path as well. At last, the project covers the
budget and quality plan for the project. All these aspects are studied under
the study of previous research sources. Moreover, the project time
management and project budget are prepared through the use of advanced
software which is MS project and MS Excel. Both of these tools are an
important source of the plan the overall schedule of a particular project.
Project Background and Objectives
Project Background
The project is about the preparation of a complete house at Oman City. The
premises shall be handed over to the owner no later than 1st August 2019.

6
From the above-mentioned figure, it can clarify that the implementation
process of the house will proceed accordingly. The contractor will remain
responsible for the continuous evaluation of Groundworks, materials,
structure, and project management procedure of the project so that any
delay can avoid effectively (Marsh, 2015).
Deliver
The project delivery will perform by sharing the project quality and progress
report (Merschbrock, 2015). It will give surety to the client about the project
specifications. At this stage, the owner takes the responsibility of his or her
home and makes necessary payments if anything left.
Project Time Management
Work Breakdown Structure
Mubarak (2015) said that the work breakdown structure represents the
overall activity involved in the accomplishment of a project. The work
breakdown structure for "Housing Construction" project is prepared through
the use of advanced software known as MS Project. It is an important method
of preparing work breakdown structure with required specifications
(Merschbrock, 2015). The work breakdown structure for housing construction
project can understand with a below-mentioned table:

Project Quality Plan
Project Quality Responsibilities
The project owner delegated the project quality responsibility to
management levels of the project. In order to construct a good house, the
project contractor, supervisory team, and engineering manager will remain
responsible. The project contractor will ensure that the project outcomes
effectively represent the owner specifications (Kerzner, 2018). On the other
hand, the project manager will oversee the speed, efficiency, and economical
completion of the overall project to avoid any unnecessary delay. Moreover,
the engineering manager will ensure the project quality by continuous
evaluation of project execution plan, construction process, and engineering
codes and standards (Nicholas, 2017).
Quality Criteria
The quality of new house will judge on the basis of below-mentioned aspects:
Quality assurance Criteria Key aspects
In General Age of the building
Building layout
Building size and type
23
The condition of Structure
Interior (Oakland, 2017)
Structure Structural span
Construction Technology
Common Areas Building Entrance

Presence and quality of
common areas like washroom,
kitchen, and bedroom (Sears,
2015)
Other Utilities (Public Water supply,
Garbage disposal, heating,
electricity, sewage, and
streets)
Fire Escape and Protection
Quality Methods
In order to evaluate the quality of the project, the two important methods
will follow here. These methods are following:
24
Process Checklists: At this stage, a list of critical tasks will prepare to
evaluate it against the predetermined work breakdown structure. This
will give information about any tendency in project accomplishment
and breakdown schedule (Tedla, 2018).
Comparison of project outcomes against standard Criteria: Here, the
project outcomes will compare the above-mentioned standard criteria
to find any problem.

Conclusion
On the basis of the above-mentioned analysis, it can be concluded that the
success chances of the project are high than its failure. It is because the
owner needs not to hire a big team for its management. Moreover, the
project schedule and budget structure should effectively follow by the team
to avoid any unnecessary delay and cost overrun problem. This will enhance
the quality of generated project outcomes.
