From the Paper:

"Assigned to the project's initial phases, there are two levels of project management, which ultimately helped in the outline of the development of the entire home (Denton, 2001). The highest, who has overseen every phase of construction, was assigned to a land developer whom also strategically developed the architecture of the specific home type. The developer was appointed by the bank to oversee every aspect of construction from the breaking of the dirt to the certificate of occupancy. Through each phase of the construction, the land developer was provided reports on budget status and the continual projected time-frames as the home progressed. This type of a supervision is proven to be constructively supporting to the development of homes (Gatlin Education Services, 2007)."
