This is the Wiki page for The RBE10K Project's Projection Team. See the list of all Teams.

Objectives

Allocate budgeting and define, according to the needs of the project, the objectives and milestones for each RBE10K Team.

Budgeting

The current proposal for the overall budget is $100 million US dollars. The budget will be distributed in percentages for a number of purposes, described below as a preliminary allocation, without real knowledge of reasonable costs incurred per area:

• 10% of the budget for public buildings
  • If Central Dome: 10 x $1 million Earhships (excluding furniture, equipment, decoration, etc)
• 10-15% for private housing
  • If Capsule Earthships: 5 x $2 million Earthships including capsules 2,000 capsules and bedding each, lounge, kitchen, eatery, furniture, toilets and showers
• 10% for sustainable energy production
• 5-8% for food (for use until the community can be self-sufficient for producing its own food)
  • At 2000 calorie requirement for each person per day
  • 10,000 people, for 365x2 days = 2000 x 10,000 x 730 = 14,600,000,000 calories in total
  • One kg of dry grain contains approximately 3000 calories
  • Total number of grain required = 14,600,000,000 / 3000 kg = 4866 tonnes => round to 5,000 tonnes
  • The FOB price per tonne of typical grain like lentils is $1,000 per tonne, i.e. $5 million overall (5% of the budget for food)
  • Food would also require the purchasing of silos, or materials to build them.
• 5-10% for furniture
• 10-15% for machinery
• 10% for computer and medical equipment
• 5-10% for Internet service
• 5% for materials for clothing, cooking, exercising and other miscellaneous

The overall total does not reach 100% at the moment, allowing for some flexibility for future unexpected categories.

Project Plan

The project plan must be documented on the project schedule page(RBE10K/Schedule), and summarised on the section "Project schedule and timeframe" of the main project wiki page (RBE10K). Currently, the project schedule has a very preliminary plan, schedule and design. The following is a summary of the new comprehensive plan, detailed in the main section above. The project plan as proposed initially by George (through Primavera Systems) consists of the following phases:

• Pre-settlement:
  • Mission and vision
  • Project charter
  • Project location
  • Domestic government requirements
  • International requirements
  • Media and Communications
  • Human Resource management
  • Project Design philosophy
  • Front-end engineering design
  • Detailed engineering and systems design
  • Various experiment result criteria
  • Budgeting
  • Fund raising
  • Independent fund management
  • Mobilisation and site surveys
  • Procurement of initial equipment/materials
  • Construction of staging ground
• Post-settlement:
  • Site mobilisation of Alpha Team
  • Procurement for Camp Alpha
  • Construction of Camp Alpha
  • Final mobilisation
  • Procurement for main city
  • Construction of main city systems
  • Project monitoring
  • Project feedback and control systems
  • Project financial audit
  • Project resource audit
  • Project deliverables
  • Project Close-Out report
  • Demobilisation or remobilisation
