The Business Need for this Project

This project’s sponsor is looking to gain more capital for his own and recently discovered real estate as one of the popular markets during the pandemic. With all other business going down, he realized that real estate could really help him financially benefit and develop a new career path.

Challenges for the Project

The sponsor of the project does not have any experience with remodeling and selling the houses. In order to successfully complete the project, the project team will need to estimate the budget accurately, and the schedule of the project needs to be precise. In addition, considering this is the first remodeling project for the sponsor, the project team will need to provide detailed information to satisfy the sponsor. Moreover, the project team needs to develop a safety plan to protect the worker from the virus with the current pandemic.
