Project priorities:
- Time should be reduced.
- The performance should not change
- The cost is tolerable not to meet the original parameters
Managing risk:
-
Technical risk:
We could have problem with the wood of the half pipe, the grind rail…
The solution:
Equipment should be verified every 2 months.
As we could notify we have more than one contractor.
The solution:
We should follow each contractor, and remind them of the schedule.
We have more than one equipment which can lead to a change in cost:
Wood
Concrete
Steel
The solution:
We should follow the market variation and know when to buy our materials, and be careful of the shipment price and insurance.

Detail of the construction:
Materials:
The selection of materials for the construction of skate park equipment will determine the durability, safety and the maintenance requirements for my skate park.
There are three basic materials used to construct Skate Park. These are described below:
Concrete: We should pay attention of the mixing.
Wood: Wood framed ramps are by far the most common in the industry. Wood is relatively easy to mill and assemble.
Steel: steel ramp construction is great and will last through generations of skaters with a low maintenance requirement.
As for the concession area, the coffee shop & bar, shower and lockers room and the rent shop, they will be constructed with pre-fabrique.

Managing risk:
- Risk identification:
Technical risk:
Wood quality could not meet the expectations.
Steel quality could be cheap.
If the structure of the ramps, half pipe grind rail … didn’t meet the norms we could have serious injury
External risk:
The contractors and suppliers didn’t respect the schedule.
Market price of the wood, concrete and steel could vary.
Customer expectation isn’t satisfied.
Organizational risk:
Funding risk, due to the lack of honesty shown by our sponsors.
Project management risk:
Estimation of the project cost could be done falsely.
- Risk response development:
We have too case of response due to the fact that our project is partially done by contractors. Our response to the risk will be done in avoiding the risk in the part that we are responsible like the skate park, green area and the parking. As for the other response it will be transferring the risk to another party, which in this case is the contractors that are responsible of the coffee shop & bar, the rent shop, and the lockers with showers.
- Risk response control:
Executing the contingency plan, monitor triggering events, and watch for new risks.
Contingency plan:
- The equipment should be verified by expert every 2 month.
- We should let financial experts follow the market variation and decide when to buy the wood, steel and concrete.
- We should follow each contractor and remind him of the schedule and especially of the quality that we need in our project.
- Each contract that is signed with our sponsor, should mention a legal notice that in case the sponsor didn’t follow what is written in the contract, he’ll be charged with a specific amount of money.
