Abstract/Summary
This Senior Project focuses on the planning and execution of a residential boundary wooden fence for an elderly homeowner located in Oceano, California, alongside a partial front yard renovation that was an appreciation gift from her grandson. Prior to construction, the front yard was divided by a small ornamental iron fence, which provided very little privacy. This fence installation was designed to improve privacy, security and overall safety while working alongside hired concrete laborers. Not only was the goal to improve safety but also the aesthetics of the home. This Project includes a project scope statement, site measurements, fence layout, a quantity takeoff with material costs, a cost estimate for fence installation, a scheduling plan, a coordination plan, and a risk management plan. Along with coordination with concrete laborers to ensure posts were set prior to concrete work to avoid work delays and high costs. This project underlines the importance of careful planning and communication to not only complete the fence installation but also to ensure satisfaction.
