Technical Assignments
Technical Assignment 1 contains a brief overview of the Food Science Building from all sides of construction engineering. Inside you will find a project schedule along with a building systems summary and a project cost evaluation. Following this is an existing conditions site plan with a write up of local conditons and client information. Lastly, the project delivery system is described with the construciton manager's staffing plan.
Technical Assignment 2 contains a more in depth project background with a more detailed project schedule and a site layout plan during the project's structural phase. Additionally, an assemblies estimate for the project's fire protection system is included along with a detailed structural system estimate and a general conditions estimate.
The contents of this final technical assignment begin to look into possible research topics for the spring semester. It recognizes current issues facing the construction industry today and with possible methods to research these topics and find solutions. Additionally, it begins an in-depth study into our senior thesis building looking at ways to reduce schedule, value engineer parts of our building, and constructability reviews.
