completed in four stages and submitted in Modules 2, 3, 4, and 8. The purpose of the Group Project is to apply the concepts and techniques of the module employing the following processes: Validate Scope Control Scope Control Schedule Control Cost Control Procurements and Monitor Stakeholder Engagement oo Each of these will form a separate section of the Final Project. The project is the construction of a new house. You are the project manager responsible for building the house. The contract has been signed, which includes the final floor plan (enclosed as Figure 1) and options selected at your company's \"Design Center.\" One change order has been processed: the addition of a swimming pool (in Module 1). You don't need to update the schedule yet; that will be assigned with other changes and due Module 8. More details are below the Assignment. Assignment: Complete the first stage of your Group ProjectThe Validate Scope Process. To validate scope, your company requires five interim inspections and one final inspection. The inspections are: Grading inspection; pre-slab and underground plumbing stake-out (completed) Slab inspection; pre-framing plan (completed) Framing and exterior inspection; pre-d Il inspection (your current assignment Drywall inspection; pre-cabinets and fixtures Cabinets and fixtures inspection Final (closing) inspection DN - The purpose of this week's submission is for your team to develop a generic procedure that uses the inputs, tools, and techniques, and produces the outputs in the Validate Scope process. In addition, your team must develop a quality control procedure for just the electrical switches and outlets to eliminate rework and demonstrate your knowledge of the core value of Responsible Stewardship by installing these features correctly the first time. Remember the carpenter's adage: \"Measure twice, cut once.\" The case study on which the four part assignment is based is as follows: Project Background: Mr. and Mrs. Brown are buying a new house, the \"San Leo\" model, in a local subdivision. The house is a 4-bed, 2-bath with a 2 car garage. The Browns have selected their options and signed the contract and addendums. Their financing is approved. The house is now under construction. It is nearing the end of the third month in a seven-month construction schedule. The Browns have previously approved the two earlier interim inspections, 1) regarding the lot grading, underground plumbing; and 2) slab and interior wall framing. It is now time for the third interim inspection described above. Company Background: Your company, HappiHouses (HH), builds standard houses in several new subdivisions in your area. HH has been in business for over 40 years and is a licensed general contractor in your area. HH sells the house and lot as a package. HH's profit comes from mark-up on the lot, construction management, a mark-up on subcontractors, as well as the margin from self-performing the structural, concrete, drywall, painting, and finishing work. HH self-performs this work to better control the quality and schedule for these items. HH uses several subcontractors (subs) during construction. These subs are typically those trades that are separately licensed in your area. For this house, the subs are constructing the electrical, plumbing, heating, roofing, and ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) items. The construction of each house is managed by a single project manager who has two assistants. This project management team typically has 10 to 20 houses in various stages of construction fo manage
