Cost Management Planning for ‘The Bungalow Project’
The cost management planning is developed for the implication of the innovative work alignment and managing the cost resources for the project. The resource management would be helpful for taking care of the effective and innovative cost budget management and simplifying the integration of the works for defining the listing resource usage. The following assignment has been developed for the formation of the innovative work alignment for the project of ‘The Bungalow Project’. The implication of the effective work alignment would be formed for forming the implication of the system work alignment. The material and human resources would be managed for ensuring the successful management of the applied work development.
The cost management planning for the Bungalow Project would be developed with the alignment of the budget resource estimation. The cost management planning for the project can be done by including the following steps,
Identification of the work requirements: The first step of the cost management plan is the identification of the work requirements. The utilization of the work requirements would be supported by the implication of the innovative and effective work implication. The work requirements would be formed with the consideration of the construction of the Bungalow Projects. The work requirements for the project would be integrated with the formation of the project plan for the project. The construction of the project would be supported by the implication of the construction project management and the utilization of the tools and techniques for the alignment of the Bungalow constructions.
Identification of the resources required: The project of Bungalow Construction is a construction project defined for the alignment of the effective implication of the project resource management. The resource management would be implied with the formation of the work alignment and development of the successive work formation. The resources required for the project would be divided into human and material resources. The human resources required for the project include Resource A Laborers and Resource B Tradesmen. The material resources required for the project include material and plant for different ranges. The implication would be successful with the formation of the effective work integration.
Acquisition of the resources: The resources would be acquired for the alignment of the effective work completion. The resources for the project would be integrated with the utilization of the effective and smart alignment of the budget for the alignment of the resources in the project. The resource acquisition would be done by forming the significant management of the facilities for developing successful alignment management. The resources required for the project would be acquired by developing contracts and tenders and aligning the listing of the successful work completion. The resources would be aligned for integrating the formation of the effective alignment of the budget.
Estimation of Costs: The estimation of the costs has been implied with the formation of the facilities and development of the operations. The estimation of the costs has been done considering the expenses of the project and the alignment of the successive alignment of the works. The cost estimation would be based on the utilization of the effective contract management for the allocation of the works and forming the successful work and process analyzing. The cost estimation would be implied for successful formation of the works. The cost estimation would be done with the usage of the estimation of the costs and the formation of calculation of the resource usage. The multiplication of the standard rates of the resources with the usage hours/units would be helpful for calculating the overall cost of the project. The addition of the individual expenses would be helpful for total budget for the project.
Bottom-Up Estimation
Implementation of cost management: The cost management implementation would be helpful for aligning the calculation of the budget estimated. The cost management techniques would be helpful for keeping the project cost in check and ensuring that the work is aligned carefully. The cost management processes would include the formation of the facilities for aligning the works and integrating the works.

As seen in the tables, the calculation of the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic budget calculation is based on the usage of the resources. The most likely usage of the resources were 1720hrs, 3480hrs, 1000 units, 4000 units, 3400 units, 900 units, 1400 units, and 600 units for Resource A Labourers, Resource B Tradesmen, Material and Plant @1, Material and Plant @2, Material and Plant @3, Material and Plant @4, Material and Plant @5, and Material and Plant @6 respectively and it has resulted in budget of $259,000. The change in the usage of the resources is the main reason for the difference in budget. The optimized usage of the resources 1400hrs, 2888hrs, 1000 units, 4000 units, 3400 units, 900 units, 1400 units, and 600 units for Resource A Labourers, Resource B Tradesmen, Material and Plant @1, Material and Plant @2, Material and Plant @3, Material and Plant @4, Material and Plant @5, and Material and Plant @6 respectively and it has resulted in budget of $219,000. The pessimistic budget has been resulted due to the exhaustion of the resources more than expected as 2360hrs, 4664hrs, 1000 units, 4000 units, 3400 units, 900 units, 1400 units, and 600 units for Resource A Labourers, Resource B Tradesmen, Material and Plant @1, Material and Plant @2, Material and Plant @3, Material and Plant @4, Material and Plant @5, and Material and Plant @6 respectively and it has resulted in budget of $337,400.
Conclusion
The bottom up estimation is the most suitable for the estimation of the budget using resource usage estimation. The cost estimation would be based on the utilization of the effective contract management for the allocation of the works and forming the successful work and process analyzing. The cost estimation would be implied for successful formation of the works. The cost estimation would be done with the usage of the estimation of the costs and the formation of calculation of the resource usage.
