Sequence/Method of work and Programme
Series of management documents drive the project management team to come up with a construction work plan. The program is created before the commencement of the work to set a timeline for the project based on the phases of construction. Construction programme requires maintenance of a close relationship with the engineers, project managers, and all the other stakeholders. The construction programme consists of various aspects of construction, such as budget, time, and resources. Some elements consist of the programme which includes scope, pre-construction, risk management, quality assurance, budget, and schedule of the activities.
The scope of the programme explains the justification of the activities by stating the purpose. The purpose of the final structure, considerations are taken, the duration of the project and resource scheduling are elements of the programme’s scope. Before commencing construction pre-construction study was carried out to create storage space and terrain conditioning. During planning, risk assessment is taken into consideration to ensure workers’ safety from possible accidents that may be encountered during construction. The plan also contains quality assurance, which entails the standards of the work throughout construction.

Cash flow forecast for the development
For project management purposes, cash flow forecasting is an important aspect to be considered as far as project development is concerned in that it helps in identifying potential problems and minimizes the impacts of cash shortages.
The cash flow forecast for the project development is summarized in the table below;
| June | July | August | |
| Operating cash, at the beginning (£) | 200,470 | 320,820 | 100,245 |
| Loans | 320,180 | 0 | 70,400 |
| Receivables | 110,340 | 50,700 | 280,560 |
| Total sources of Cash (£) | 630,990 | 371,520 | 451, 205 |
| Equipment payment | 50,690 | 40,675 | 0 |
| Labor | 23,450 | 20,900 | 12,380 |
| Transport | 16,790 | 17,490 | 7,450 |
| Purchase of materials | 150,260 | 130,690 | 25,670 |
| Tax payment | 68,980 | 61,520 | 30,100 |
| Total cash used (£) | 310, 170 | 271,275 | 75,600 |
| Change in cash (£) | +120,350 | -220,575 | +75,600 |
| Ending cash balance (£) | 320,820 | 100,245 | 375,605 |
From the cash forecasting table above, a positive change in cash at the end of the last month implies that as far as our project is concerned there are high chances that during the course of building our project there will be no cash issues and thus the project will be completed as expected.
