Residential Construction Permits Research Project

The owner is trying to decide whether to change business models to generate more revenue; the company primarily works on non-residential construction projects, but is interested in expanding into residential markets.

How to Proceed

Part 1 – Excel

Your supervisor has asked you to research demand and profitability indicators to decide if this idea is worth considering. Is it more profitable to remain in non-residential construction, or are there missed opportunities in residential construction?

Using the City of Winnipeg’s open data website (use aggregate data), you will compare the frequency (#) and total value ($) of residential construction permits vs non-residential permits that have been issued in the following neighborhoods between the years 2015 to 2020:

The Forks
Tuxedo
Waverley Heights
West Broadway

Transfer the relevant data into an Excel spreadsheet, and ensure you:

Download the raw data into a separate worksheet and use your name_raw in the label
Sort the relevant data using a structured table and format it into a table of your choice.
Use accounting format with zero decimal places.
Create properly formatted title and table elements on a separate worksheet with your name_table in the label.
Insert at least one mathematical/statistical function(s) into the spreadsheet.
Create a chart or graph of your choice to help visualize your information on a separate worksheet with your name_graph in the label.

Part 2 – Word

Your report will contain a total of 5 pages (title page, report pages (2 pages), flyer page, bibliography page).

Report layout:

12-point Calibri font, double spaced in Portrait orientation.
Insert a left footer displaying your name (FirstName LastName) on all pages except on title page and flyer page.
Insert a right footer (on the same line and left footer) displaying page numbers on all pages except the title page and flyer page.
Apply narrow margins

Report content:

Create a logo for Claw Construction to use throughout your document

- One table and one chart from your Excel file
- Conclusion paragraph with your recommendation(s)
Create a marketing flyer (include your new logo) that targets residential construction using at least four layout/design techniques found in Word Module 4: Enhancing Page Layout and Design on a separate page in Landscape (for this page only) and no footer.
