The construction project is proposed to be started on September 2022, and is expected to be finished on August 2023. A majority of the schedule’s time is made up of five major activities; concrete, building Enclosure, masonry, mechanical and Electrical install. Concrete activities include processes such as placing foundations and slab on deck. The Building Enclosure Phase includes erecting the scaffolding that will allow for exterior sheathing installation and bricklaying.
Mechanical and Electrical install coincide with each other due to the need for coordination between the two divisions. There are several periods of construction during the schedule in which there are multiple construction activities occurring at the same time.
The construction site must be organized accordingly as these processes take place. As with any construction project, the goal of the schedule will to complete all construction activities before the required Date of completion.
This date of completion is practical based on the time of year in which the building will be completed. The team allowed a two week contingency for any setbacks. Typically, winter construction tends to cause unforeseen delays that negatively impact a construction project. These conditions can and will almost undoubtedly impact the project schedule by causing unforeseen delays and project inefficiency.
Although functional spaces for the project were laid out in significant detail, the rest of the building had designated spaces but set layouts. It was at the discretion of the project promoter to devise typical layouts for the non-detailed commercial and office spaces. To make sure that the building’s layouts were practical, the project owner researched typical architectural layouts for laboratory and executive office spaces. The walls and partitions throughout the floor will congruent with the structural frame and column locations.
One of principle deliverables of the project is the structural design of the building. The structural bays were coordinated with the layout of the building adjustments will be made to the bays if specific layouts are necessary. The frame will be made up of a grid with repeating standard structural bays. Included in the structural system are bay sizes, shape and size of structural members, floor compositions and curtain walls. These elements were established to resist gravity ad lateral loads as appropriate.
The gravity load design will completed for two frames; one of structural steel and one of reinforced concrete. The structural steel frame will chose for further design based on cost per square foot, local availability of material and constructability considerations, such as erection and fabrication. The steel system will then designed for lateral loading with necessary adjustment being made to framing.
The design of a superstructure may be accurate, have considered all possibilities and still fail because the substructure is incapable of distributing the applied loads to the supporting soil.
Foundation design takes more into consideration than merely the loading from the columns. While the main part of the project focused on the structural frame and its alternate designs, a preliminary foundation plan was designed based upon maximum load carried from the superstructure through the columns. The foundation design conducted by the project team consisted of the selection of foundation type, determination of the bearing capacity and the design for typical interior and exterior spread footings.
The construction process for this project is normally a disjointed three mages development by which the conceptualized need of the promoter of this project is translated into a functional facility that will meet their needs in terms of time, cost and quality.
Based on a general program of the project owners the consultant who is going to be hired makes site studies, develops structural designs, prepares drawings and specifications, determines quantities involved and estimated the resultants costs. All these activities will be done in the first phase of the project which is the design stage after the document are produced by the designers have been received, and the works secured the project is supposed to enter the tendering stage. At this stage contractors study the project document analyze and subsequently determine the construction methods, built up their unit rates and submit their bids for the works. The promoter of this project intends to compare the bids and award the contract for the lowest responsible bidder. This, is of course, presupposes that the favorable proposal does not exceed the allocated budget.
After the award is made and the contract signed between this project owners and the contractor, the project constructor is expected to prepare and submits a detailed construction program which includes material schedule, manpower requirement and cash flow forecast.
