Progress, Timeline, And Roadblocks

In the last time, my project was 30% completed, having dealt with the foundation and walling. Up to date, the roofing work has been completed. In the next two weeks, I expect that we will be done with doors, grills and windows fittings. By the end of the third week from now, plastering will be done. In the fourth week, the wiring will be done, and painting is done by the end of the fifth week. In the sixth week, we will deal with the floor (putting tiles) and ceiling in the seventh week. It is expected that eight weeks from now, the house will be fully complete and ready to be occupied. 

 Initial changes that we experienced in the project were delayed delivery of construction materials and related supplies, and slight adverse deviations in the time and resources allocated to the project activities. So far, I am happy that the issues have been resolved. A positive relationship has been created with the suppliers, and are expected to deliver the materials a week before the actual use date. The issue of adverse variances has been eliminated by making sure that the project team arrive at the workplace as planned, and work without wasting time, besides using the materials in the most appropriate ways possible. Time and material usage have been enhanced. 

Remaining concerns or roadblocks in the remaining project activities still relate to the time and material usage variances and project scope. Some of the techniques which have been applied successfully in past activities such as receiving materials a week before actual use, and encouraging the project team to utilize time and materials effectively. Supervision and monitoring will be enhanced to make sure that the activities are being executed within the project scope to avoid possibilities of deviations (Kerzner, 2017).
