Referring to Figures 12.3 and 12.4 earned value curves, if each of these work packages proceeds at the same trend, when will they complete, and what will be the final hours over or under budget?
Prepare a list of the top ten systems or assemblies from the NanoEngineering Building which deserve the most cost control attention and fall within the 80–20 rule.
Prepare additional earned value curves starting with the footing work package example presented earlier in the chapter. Draw a curve where the foreman is over budget and behind schedule and another where the team is on budget and ahead of schedule. Prepare a narrative explaining why these
Prepare a cost forecast for the foregoing work activities. Based upon the work-packages developed, forecast the remaining hours needed and calculate the total over- or under-run this system will achieve.Convert the hours to dollars using wage rates from Chapter 3 or other local current rates. List
Utilizing another case study project, prepare a work package for direct labor for a system of work such as concrete foundations, cast-in-place concrete walls, tilt-up concrete walls, or slab-on-grade. Attach the original portion of the estimate that refers to this work package. Assume the following
