Abstract
This report is an overview of a civil design process, based on the example of a Kiddiegarten School of Maple Grove project; it shows how to plan and manage a construction project, how to do project’s economic analysis; how to perform civil design.
Careful financial planning should be done before any construction. Net present value and internal rate of return methods were used to determine if the project brings any return on investment.
Work breakdown structure and responsibility matrix were the first steps for defining the project; the project timeline was created next and main milestones defined.
Civil design started with an extensive requirements research and best available technologies analysis. Preliminary design included a set of plans and supportive documents for the PUD approval application in the City of Maple Grove.
The project shows good return on investment during the stable state. The plans were submitted on time and approved by the City of Maple Grove.
The project results can be used for future design and project management work on similar facilities.
