Overview of Assignment

You are the new project manager at Garden Decks of Beauty, a local company for the

past 12 years in the Lexington, KY area. Your first assignment will be for the Melrose

family (Todd and Margo, plus two yippy dogs to drive the neighbors nuts) who moved into

their new home two years ago and now wish to replace the 8’ by 3’ slab of concrete (the

stoop) which their backyard facing French Doors step onto with a new luxurious deck area

with hot-tub and accoutrements. Their backyard is 80’ wide and 120’ deep and runs at a

5% slope straight down the back. By the way, Todd and Margo are Iron Triangle lovers –

Time/Cost/Quality. Win them and you win their neighbors’ business.
