Create a Project Plan Wizard

The Plan a Project Wizard is a tool to assist with planning indicative project scope, cost and program for building work. The Wizard has been designed to apply to a single asset and will ask a series of questions relating to location, commencement date and risk that will require some estimate judgements to be made along the way. Summaries of interim results will be provided throughout the Wizard, with a full summary of the results provided at the finish.
