Introduction
The safety of the environment is an important component that is increasingly receiving concern and attention from the modern population. Among the elements that contribute to environmental safety is green building. Ideally, green building is defined as the design and construction of buildings that ensure the elimination of negative impacts and the creation of positive impacts on the climate and the natural environment. Essentially, the development of eco-friendly buildings is essential to preserve natural resources and improve the quality of life of individuals. The key features associated with the eco-friendly construction of homes include efficient use of water, energy, and other resources, use of renewable energy such as solar energy, proper indoor environmental air quality, pollution, and waste reduction measures, and use of non-toxic materials.
Project Overview
The development and construction of buildings has great benefits to our society, however significant environmental and health impacts come with it. The Eco-House project is the construction of an environmentally friendly, resource-efficient house for the existence of the building’s lifecycle. Our role in the project it to design, plan, facilitate and manage the construction of the house from beginning to end to enhance efficiency, reduce environmental degradation and create a healthy living environment.
Project Objectives
The objectives of the Eco-House project are to reduce the overall impact on the environment, human health and maximize economic performance. This can be implemented into housing at any stage of its lifecycle, either as part of its design and construction, or renovation of an existing building. For the Eco-House, these designs will be integrated into the project from the beginning of the house’s lifecycle, implementing the design and technology into its foundations, which will maximize the efficiency to gain optimal significant benefits. They key objectives from the project are as follows:
Environmental benefits: improve air/water quality, water efficiency, energy savings, reduce waste costs, and conserve and restore natural resources.
Economic benefits: reduce operating costs, material efficiency, and expand a market for green products and services.
Social benefits: enhance comfort and health and improve overall quality of life.

Project Scope
Before the relevant tasks are delegated and allocated to execute the project, the scope must firstly be defined. The project scope outlines the objectives of the project as well as the goals that are needed to be achieved. The scope provides the foundation for project managers to manage scope change and project risk. In this section, the deliverables, technical requirements matrix, work-breakdown structure (WBS), and scope control will be defined.
Deliverables
Identifying the milestones and timeline.
The draft for the house for overall layout of the house.
Interior and exterior design of the house.
Textual details of the interior and exterior design.
Design of the customised waste and waste systems.
Necessary documents to execute the project.
Cable management of the house for electrical sockets.
Documents made after surveying the site.
Revisions of designs made during the project.
Documents detailing the progress of the project.
The finished build of the house.
Project Milestones
The major components of this project include.
Gathering project requirements: This milestone will mark a framework for gathering all the information that is necessary for the construction of the home. This information includes specifications on the types of materials, budget and even time to be taken for the completion of the project. Essentially, this milestone will mark as a basis for the entire project.
Purchase of materials: Upon gathering the necessary information, the next milestone will be the purchase of materials to be used in the construction of the home. In this case, the materials will be purchased based on the gathered requirements.
Construction of the house: This is another major milestone of the project. Essentially, this milestone will comprise various activities such as the installation of the kitchen and developing proper plumbing.
Decoration of the house: Once the construction of the home is completed, the next milestone is the decoration of the house. This will include tasks such as selection of colors and painting.
Technical Requirements
The requirement for this project is to design, plan, facilitate and manage the construction of an Eco-House in response to high energy demands of today’s society. The project will be done in a manner similar to a typical construction project, albeit with energy-efficient modifications, down to the details of the materials used to build the foundation and framework of the house. The primary criterion for achieving an efficient eco-house is through energy efficiency, material efficiency, and water efficiency:
Energy efficiency will be achieved through renewable energy sources, such as solar power, wind power, biomass, and heat water pumps.
Material efficiency will be achieved through renewable, recycled, and re-used materials that have long-term sustainability and durability.
Limits & Exclusions
The following are limits and exclusions that will be adhered to during the construction of the home.
The constructor can outsource the work but must ensure that the project is completed within the set deadline and requirements irrespective of the selection of the contractors.
The contractor will not be responsible for the purchase of the furniture used in the decoration of the house.
The home will be built only based on the specification and requirements initially agreed upon by the house owner and the project manager. In the event of additional requirements that were not part of the initial planning, both parties should develop a mutual agreement to ensure that the project is still completed without failure.
Water efficiency will be achieved through rainwater collectors, recycling of grey water, and less water-consuming landscaping.
Assumptions
The activities are assigned estimated duration and resources in initial project planning phase. However, there can be certain changes which affect the cost and duration of the project. One other assumption made here is that same worker will be doing multiple jobs which takes more time to finish the work. It is evident from table 4 that contractor will be the most important resource for the execution. Therefore, the budget and the equipment hiring can be done in accordance with the contractor and the activities associated with contractor.
Customer Review
Customers are an important part of the project. During the development of the house, the customers will be provided an opportunity to review the project based on their experiences. Essentially, this review can include the communication framework of the project manager and satisfaction level based on the construction with the design requirements. As such a section of the customer review will be presented to allow the customer to give feedback based on their experience through the entire project. The collection of the customer review is presented in the table below.

WBS Structure
The work breakdown structure is a progressive framework that aims to solve the ever-expanding level of detail in housing construction projects and arrange, characterize and display works in a reasonable and quantifiable way. It is proposed to decompose all the working parts of the errand into graphic descriptions in an orderly manner. They are sub-divided into lesser bits of work at each lower level of the breakdown. The WBS course is one of the intermediate qualities of work things, and it will consider the directness of the efforts made to redraw more successfully (Larson and Gray, 2017).

Issues Log
Issues, in a project, entail the inconsistencies, conflicts, and gaps that occur during the lifecycle of the project. Issues can occur from the project staff, material suppliers, and even technical failures. As such, issues need to be managed and resolved to ensure that they do not affect the delivery of the project. To manage the issues, the issue log is a register that will be used to document all the issues that will affect the project (Buckley, 2011). In this case, the issue log will aid in the recording, tracking, and solving the problems through the project. The components of the issue log for this project will include issue name, issue type, raised by, date raised, description, priority, assigned to, status, and final solution.

Quality management & monitoring
Project quality management entails a framework in which the project’s quality is monitored and maintained throughout the project. The primary aim of quality monitoring and management is to ensure that the project meets or exceeds all the needs and requirements that were originally created (Zafarani, 2011). When building the eco-friendly house at the beach, quality management and monitoring will be integrated into all the phases beginning from planning to the construction and decoration of the house. Besides, the project will work with a quality assurance expert that will help in the assessment of any quality issues arising and ensuring that the project ultimately meets the desired quality. As such, the quality assurance expert will work closely will all the project staff for the completion of the project.
Quality Standards
According to the state building recognized by the state government, this shows that building codes are essential for setting quality guidelines for residential development. Quality standards that are irrelevant to quality assurance will be achieved through the reference of the quality management plan and parental standards. In this process, the project team has the responsibility to exceed the proposed guidelines at any time that is reasonable and achievable. The quality representative of the task group will reliably check whether the cycle and project verification follow the specifications. To ensure that each meeting is consistent with the principles and guidelines presented, there needs to be open correspondence and frankness among all partners.
Quality management approach
Delivery quality is the top priority of each part of the task force. Then, the person in charge of the undertaking team is obliged to ensure quality management. In this way, senior executives can rely on them to convey high-quality work. In this process, the quality management methods will be evaluated, arranged, confirmed and executed according to the appropriate business. The standards proposed by the state in the construction law.
Quality assurance
The task quality confirmation will be based on the overall quality management plan: measurement, execution, archiving, and inspection. The quality of the distributed project team before any work starts agents will be responsible for ensuring that they provide guidance for the creation of the party to consider a superior quality management plan before anything starts. Part of the content to be set includes thinking about the importance and substantive measurement of the work. The task does cover a wide range of tasks, so the quality management plan will play an important role through quality representatives to characterize the measures of effort they indicate. The project leader will also help coordinate negative quality patterns and known quality defects, which requires continuous refinement.
Quality control
As an integral part of the arrangement phase, the quality leader of the task group should establish intermittent review as their special effort in this work. Investigations and testing will be completed by the project leader, key agent, quality leader, and creator. The quality agent in the task will also ensure that the entire investigation and testing are fully archived. The task leader will confirm the key performance check, which should report the status of the sub-project staff on a weekly basis. The operations supervisor will also continuously report known quality defects or high-risk operations.
Quality objective: build a eco-friendly house according to the agreement file and owner’s prerequisites. Every material and every development cycle used in the project should be determined in accordance with the presentation. The quality management plan are as follows:

Conclusion
Project management is an essential component that is used to achieve project goals within the designated constraints. In the development of the eco-friendly house at Vancouver Beach, the foundation of the project management will involve initiating a proper plan that can be used and referred throughout the entire lifecycle. As such, the plan will entail gathering all the requirements and using the requirements to construct an eco-friendly home. The end of the project will be marked by closure where the homeowner will be ready to purchase the furniture and move in.
