Building A Summer Intern On The Jobsite Of The Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center Expansion Project

However, most of the assignments focused on the contract project. This is because the project objectives of the internship focused on contract review. The objective was to analyze contracts, improve the budget and fiduciary compliance, and propose solutions of best practices based on Joint Commissions standards to reduce contract leakage. The contract project was based on reviewing and evaluating contracts based on best practices of joint commission standards. The budget control project emphasized the importance of managing costs, improving budgets, and fiduciary compliance. My personal objectives were to learn as much information as possible, understand the standards of Joint Commission and contracts, and be able to create contracts on my

1.1 This report will provide guidance for the procedure of preparing an estimate for building works. It will include the factors that affect the overall cost of the project explaining them in general as well as explaining them on the example provided.

Recently, I was tasked with completing a takeoff of the wall tile to be placed in our building. The owner had requested full-height tile in the restrooms, but the quote that came in seemed high. By completing the takeoff, I was able to identify the problems in the estimate. I have found the project estimator to be a great resource. If I have any questions pertaining the subcontracts, my first contact is always our estimator. A simple question asked over the phone can often transform into a conversation where I am able to learn something new about estimating. I was recently offered to have my internship extended in order to spend a few weeks in the estimating department. Going into my internship I wanted nothing to do with estimating, but now that I see how the different departments work together to create a building, the importance of estimators stands out to me. I am excited to experience two concentrations of construction in order to see which suites my personality the

I am currently doing my internship at this senior center and it is based on the ten core competencies of Eastern’s B.S.W. Program. I am providing clerical and administrative support for efficient operation of the Norris Square Senior Center. I prepare source data for entries, store coding and other information in databases, and solicit feedback regarding

I am interning at VCC: The Gary Center in La Habra. I currently intern Wednesdays and Fridays for five hours each day. On Wednesdays, I am in the upstairs office all five hours working in the front office. Currently VCC: The Gary Center is going through the process of moving to another location. After merging with Vista Community Center in March 2016, our agency has expanded and moving our services to a bigger location. This whole process has brought disorder into the agency and high levels of stress. As an intern walking into a changing agency is was pretty easy to learn the new rules. My supervisor Ana Palafox, provides me with different tasks every Wednesday. I cover for the other receptionists Viri and Ailene, when they are on lunch or taking a break.

When considering factors that didn’t go well as far as schedule the project took a steep hit. While the initial item started on time, it ended two days later than was initially planned. This meant that “Set product Specs” was 2 days late starting. With this project each line item has a predecessor. This means that they cannot start until the previous item is finished. With this every portion of the project was late starting and threw the entire project off. With regards to the cost “Need Survey” was over budgeted by $6,400 and “Set product spec” was over budgeted by $11,520.

Our estimates are carefully prepared and based upon the information you have provided us. These estimates are maximum quotes based upon DUCE’s information outlined in our proposal. However, creative or developmental projects often lead to altered objectives. If new information or instructions are received during the course of a project that will require more time or expenses than we have budgeted, we will inform you immediately and prepare a revised estimate in writing. At that time, we will require a signed approval from you in order to continue the project.

The cost planning is one of important phases for project management. It will goes through whole project’s life cycle. It is foundation of project and it will tell the project are measured, reported and controlled in every process. Estimating is the process of forecasting or approximating the time and cost of completing project deliverables.

Interning as the financial analyst at Terma North America Inc. (Terma) and as the accounting intern at Howard, Moore, and McDuffie (HMM) has been a great learning experience. This summer I have been able to apply theory and participate in real-world scenarios. At the beginning of my internships, I met with my supervisors to create goals that I would strive to achieve by the end of the summer. At Terma, my goal was to prepare and present summary financial status reports to management and customers. I was able to exceed this goal by working with the IT department to design and create a program management module for the program managers. With the guide, the managers will learn how to access reports and update them at any time without

Professor Angeline suggested I read the article “15 Best Internship Practices” http://www.naceweb.org/internships/15-best-practices.aspx in order to get a better understanding of what I should look for as an intern to improve in my current work environment. I found that the first three bullet points were spot on with the issues I am currently facing. This helped me develop a better description of the issue I want to present for the topic memo and how to solve it.

One of the main problems of using job order costing is the incompatible between when the quotation is made and when the costs actually become known. Generally, prices need to be quoted before production starts, but by using this system, the costs are known only after completing the job. The companies are able to calculate the actual cost of labour and material charges but for the overhead cost, only able to estimate. Therefore, there is an inaccuracy because the companies may take a loss if they quote too low or will loss customers if they quote too high. The construction industry and ship building industry always face these problems as the companies’ works on individual projects rather than standardized

This report describes in detail about the company I have done my internship with, its nature of business. It describes my objectives and roles that I undertook at IDEAL INDUSTRIES INC., as a Software Engineering Intern. It describes in detail the task that I have accomplished with respect to the course work I have taken at the university and its usage, and the overall experience gained from my Internship program.

This White paper titled “ Cost Estimation in Ship Building Industry ” explore an overview of Cost Estimation application developed for Ship building Projects for a Client. Projects like Ship building involve heavy expenditure, Time, and labor. An incorrect estimate can result in deliverable of a wrong quotation that may further result in making the project a non profitable one or it can affect the bidding process. This white paper provides the functional over view of a Cost Estimate application.
