Final Report

 

 

During the 2013-2014 academic year, Sunnyvale Plaza was analyzed to determine several alternative solutions to create cost or schedule savings within the design or construction process. Through extensive research and coordination with the project team, four primary areas were determined for the focus of each analysis. The following report consists of four analyses conducted through the senior thesis project. It is important to stress that this report is strictly educational and is not intended to evaluate the project team or their efforts.

 

The following report provides an in depth analysis of the following areas:

 - Analysis 1: Utilization of A Stormwater Harvesting System - Plumbing Breadth

 - Analysis 2: Analysis of Current Excavation Method

 - Analysis 3: Removal of Renovated Building Section - Structural Breadth

 - Analysis 4: Profitability of An Early Schedule Opening
