Jerry is responsible for starting a new construction project.
His company wants to build a new Water Park on the outskirts of town.
He has prepared a Statement of Need, outlining requirements and benefits.
Senior Management has approved the project to move forward.
Q: What should be Jerry's next task?
Answer Options:
The next stage after a business justification is a Feasibility Study (p.18-19). This assesses financial viability and risks before moving forward. Concept design and project brief come after feasibility, and the construction manager is appointed much later in the process. [P.18-19]
Fred is comparing two possible projects that will last for different durations.
His company can only select one project due to financial constraints.
