Project Management You are the general contractor for a high$-$end, private residence construction job. You manage teams of subcontractors who work on various aspects of the house, from plumbing and electrical to drywall and landscaping. The homeowners, Robert and Maggie Applebaum, want to be in their new house in $4$ months and will check in with you regularly about its progress. It is your job to make sure daily operations at the site are running smoothly and that the house is completed on time and within budget, without negatively affecting your other building projects. Your Goal: Complete the house on time, achieve profits of

$10\%$

or greater $($meaning you should spend

$$162,000$

or less of your

$$180,000$

budget on all building costs$),$ and keep the subcontractors and homeowners happy. Your reputation is at stake. Separate your work into two phases: $1.$ Planning Phase $-$ Select all sub$-$contractors before you start the simulation. Your choices will alter Projected Project Cost and the Projected Completion data. Use this information so you can anticipate both an on$-$time finish and a profit prior to beginning construction. $2.$ Execution Phase $-$ Review incoming messages as they arrive and revise your project plan as circumstances change during construction. In both the Planning and Execution Phases of the simulation, you will select or update your choice of subcontractors for each task. At every decision point, you will have $3$ options to choose from each offering services at different costs and speeds to complete their work. You may also choose to expedite the work of a given subcontractor by paying for overtime or extra workers. You must click "Save" for your decision to record in your project plan. Make choices that will allow you to finish on$-$time and in$-$budget.FROM: Manuel Garcia$/$Third National Bank SUBJECT: Account Details Hellot rve been reviewing your loan history and wanted to ofter a few insights befoce you get started.
