Introduction
Constructing a hospital is a huge project. Not only it requires to follow all the code of conducts
for construction given by the Canada government, but also it requires great attention and focuses
on the internal staff and other medical facilities provided to the patients and visitors. This week’s
report is all about high-level information and lists of requirements for the construction of the
hospital starting with defining the scope of the project which is our initial step to start a project
Scope
This week’s report consists of developing scope for the project, including all the project constraints
and strategies to take care of them. It also contains the information about different time frames
allocated to different tasks, suppliers, material used and budget allocation to various process in the
project. This report is created to give an idea of the size of the project as it includes the list of all
the requirements, equipment and resources while constructing the building of the hospital.
Background
William health partners group of hospitals are running five sites to provide health care facilities
in Canada. However, due to increasing population in GTA, the organization decided to expand
the Brampton hospital branch to resolve the lack of adequate medical services in the area. In a
previous report, we discussed the major deliverables of the project and 15 stakeholders involved
Organization
This report is consisting of the reason that which branch of the hospital needs expansion and
why. Following the scope statement of the project. It also has lists of requirements, equipment,
3
and resources used in the project to make it successful. Further a high-level description about the
time frame and budget allocation is done to the major activities involved in the project. All the
major constraints are described with the strategies to care for those constraints.
Discussion of Findings
Due to the exponential growth of the population of GTA day by day, William Health partners
group of Hospitals surveyed all the five branches (Brampton, Burlington, City of Toronto,
Oshawa, New Market). The organization’s main motive is to provide the best, fastest and reliable
health care facilities to the people of GTA. So, their survey focused on the number of patients
visited these hospitals. This survey concluded that the branch in City of Toronto is having a large
number of visitors then others and this branch need an expansion in the area. Moreover, it is the
oldest branch built in its 90’s having obsolete machinery. So, they targeted this place to update
the technology as well as cover the increasing demand for health care in that section.
The project’s focus is on expanding of one the branch of the hospital that is in City of Toronto in
GTA to tackle the exponential growth of population. The building is constructed to create a
comfortable and friendly environment to the patients by providing best facilities to them in the
hospital. From medical point of view, the hospital will be fully equipped with all the medical

List of resources:
The project resources are divided into two parts in case of dealing with the resources. One part of
resources contains a list of human resources required for the construction of the building, and the
other part deals with the human resources needed in the new building that runs the hospital that is
Human resources involved in the construction process are sponsors, construction company,
machine operators, architect, consultants, supervisors, skilled labor like plumber, electrician and
unskilled labor helping in construction process, safety inspector, associations producing health
technologies, company providing upholstery and patient beds, policymakers and welfare agencies.

Human resources involved to run the hospital are medical staff, non-medical staff, a specialist
hired for acute diseases, pharmacist, laboratory technician, clerks, clients or patients, health
inspector.
The overall time required for the completion of the project is 22 months. The following table shows
the different time frame for various activities involved in constructing a building and other
activities not related to the constructing like hiring and training of the medical and non-medical
staff. This table shows just an upper-level time division for the high-level activities and the
upcoming reports will contain proper WBS with the time division for each sub-activities.

Budget Allocation:
After dividing the high-level activities for constructing a hospital, the budget that can be
estimated is CAD 300 million. This budget is divided into different high-level activities only in
this phase. Moreover, one of the NGO also signed a contract to mitigate that risk financially if
possible, by providing an additional budget of CAD 50 million in case of any risk arises in the
project. So, this CAD 50 million acts as the contingency reserve for the project. Only sponsors

are aware of this contract, and it will be provided to the project manager in case any issue
Constraints
Constraints are the limitations and the risks involved in a project that is needed to be taken into
account and listed in the earlier stage only to ensure the success of the project. There are three
primary constraints in a project, and those are time, scope and cost. All together, they are called
11
triple constraints of a project. Each of the constraint is connected to other two, for example, if the
project manager increases the scope of the project, it will automatically require more time and
money, and if in case project speed is increased by overlapping technique it may cut costs, but it
will diminish the scope of the project. This project involves the following constraints with the
Time constraint: The project should be completed in the time frame of 22 months.
Strategy: The amount of time required to complete a project is determined by the project scope
and by following the project management plan, one can ensure that outline of the project is
thoroughly followed and the timeline that is created for each task is informed to the team
initially. Each day work should be analyzed, and scrum meetings should be performed to meet
the time goal for each day and time deadline for every activity.
Strategy: The scope of the project is explicitly attached to the cost of the project. It is calculated
on a high level in the project charter only, and the project management plan should ensure that it
should vary because the budget changes very rarely. So, all the resources that are required to
complete the project should be predetermined in the scope and cost constraint can be managed.
Scope constraint: The above-defined scope statement is the scope constraint. All the
Strategy: To ensure scope creep, the project scope should be communicated to all the
stakeholders clearly and regularly by providing clear and complete documentation in the
beginning to all.
12
Government approval: It is a major constraint to get government approvals for a
construction site as well as for medical licenses required for imaging and radiotherapies.
Strategy: The construction approval is for sure if we must follow the code of conduct mentioned
by the government.
Conclusion:
This week’s report is mainly about developing project scope followed by the high-level time
frame of different activities and high-level budget allocation to those activities. The report is also
having list of all the resources, requirements, equipment and constraints with its strategies to
