Project description
The project involves the construction of a family building. It is a house that my client has longed to possess all the entire life. It is a two story building with a floor space of 200 square metres on each floor which totals up to 400 square metres. The building is Marina Yas and it is located in the address Abu Dhabi, Shahamah BAH 209. The end user of the project is thus a family and therefore in its design and construction so many considerations have to be made. Being a residential house the project has 2 bedrooms on the ground floor with a sitting room and a visitor’s lounge. The ground floor has also a parking area of 3 cars and a kitchen too. The first floor has 4 bedrooms and 2 kitchens. It is also having a visitor’s lounge and a sitting room.
The project with regard to its location and the intended purpose it will need to be fenced well enough for the whole family’s protection and security. The house too due to its magnificent nature it will require support systems like the drainage the telephone system and also the internet connection just to mention a few.
Project scope is that stage in project management that is involved with the establishment and filing or writing down the individual tasks to be performed from one stage in the project to the other and also the requirements in each stage. It basically tries to narrow down the work from the whole project to sub-projects that can easily be monitored and those that can easily be managed by an individual from one step to the other and ensure quality and accountability in the whole project realization. Project scope ensures that the team and all the people who will be involved with the design and building of this house remain focused and will ensure that the planned work is done within the specified period.

Much detail is followed keenly to ensure that the design is exactly or almost exactly the client’s wish because as a firm we work our best to ensure that we satisfy the client needs and those they are able to make a recommendation in the future or give us more of their other projects.
