Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Maybe I’m just hard to please, but I like to have a roof on my house

Dear Anoon,

Yes, in case of a floating house, you will need to remove the foundation and include a raft... The important thing is to have all the deliverable in the WBS.

Have a great day,

Samer

Samer,

It depends on how big is the house, how complicated it is or how it is designed?

A Client might say: I want a floating house in the middle of the carribean, then your sample WBS will not be applicable.

cheers
