TECHNICAL ASSIGNMENTS

Technical Assignment #1

This technical assignment summarizes the existing conditions and the construction methods utilized on the Bridgeside Building II project. The report is broken up into eight sections: project schedule summary, building systems summary, project cost evaluation, site plan, local conditions, client information, project delivery system, and a staffing plan.

Technical Assignment #2

This technical assignment analyzes the schedule, costs and site layouts for Bridgeside Building II in greater detail than the previous technical assignment. Also included is an overview of the PACE Roundtable. By constructing each of these documents a greater understanding of the building and project is developed.

Technical Assignment #3

This technical assignment takes a look at some of the constructability issues faced on the Bridgeside II project and their resolutions. Also the various schedule acceleration methods and the value engineering topics incorporated on this project. This report then explains some of the problems on the Bridgeside II project and possible analysis topics for further research.
