Abstract/Summary

This paper will outline the process of estimating and the project management of a visitor deck that was built at City Farm of San Luis Obispo, a local non-profit. The deck was built for the purpose of providing an area for visitors to observe the agricultural land where City Farm educates the community on ecology, nutrition, and sustainable farming. The construction of the deck was completed by three fourth-year Construction Management majors: Eric Cederstrom, Lane Lagomarsino, and Brett Jones. Each project team member was responsible for their own aspect of the project planning and all members collaborated throughout the entire building process. While the deck itself was the most significant project deliverable, this paper will focus on the project management deliverables completed by Eric Cederstrom, which include the estimation of the deck, the procurement of material, and acting as the main point of contact for communication between the two parties.
