Introduction

Project planning and management is one of the key processes which guarantees development and achievement of desired goals within companies. Conceptualization of the project is done with intentions of improving the level of output within the targeted areas. One of the sole reasons for improving the production level is for the purposes of meeting the ever increasing market demand for wood products. It is important that the planning process incorporate future expansion and development of the designed project. It is the responsibility of the project manager to ensure that the project delivers with respect to the provided plan.

The project undergoes thorough check-up and assessment by relevant authorities including project manager as well as contracted auditors. The plan would provide summary of the intended monthly spending on budgetary allocations and project scope till the completion of the project. The budget would give possible financial break down on each phase enabling early financial adjustments (Adair and Bruce, 1994).

The project is about designing and building a wood workshop capable of producing quality modern furniture. The project fits into project management since it

involves a lot of activity and financial planning. The construction work has to be scheduled over a period of time and every responsibility allocated appropriately. Finances would be the greatest limitation on the project, considering the losses involved during material procurement and construction process due to changing economic times. Time management would also present one of the limitations owing to effects of the weather which at times might stop construction work for a while i.e. heavy downpour.
