Assignment - Building a Tiny Home

Determine Budget/Time-Phased Cash Flow

The Case:

The City of Peterborough has decided to try something new to address the significant issue of homelessness. The city council is interested in pursuing a community of tiny homes, with most of the features of a full-sized home, to allow an affordable housing option for those on limited incomes. The first step in the project is to construct a single home to verify the costs and timeline projected for the effort.

You have been selected as the project manager for the initial tiny home. Your company has a good reputation for quality work and the ability to manage issues effectively. The total budget for the effort is $40,000 CAD, and you have been given one month to complete the work. You will be responsible for having all of the work completed, as well as keeping track of the cash flow on the project to serve as a guideline for future builds. The house will be built on an unused piece of city property, for transportation to its final location later. You will allow for a 10% budget contingency on all tasks to account for any possible risks on the project. It is also customary that no work will take place on the weekends. Your time as a project manager will be calculated at 30% of the numbers of hours for each whole day of the project.

Your Mission:
1. Complete the basis of estimates and budget worksheet using the task and resources information in this case.
2. Complete a time-phased cash flow forecast on the associated worksheet.
3. Answer the questions at the bottom of the "Budget" worksheet
