User Note: Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Justin Purcell. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design |

A proposal addresses a particular problem, and the proposed method of solution of the problem
It provides the information given in the body of the document, without requiring the reader to leaf through the full document. The executive summary is an overview of the actual document.
Breadth 1: CM
Changing from a composite system to an open web joist system will impact the cost and schedule. An in-depth cost and schedule impacts of open web joists will be analyzed for my construction management breadth. This includes a further analysis of just R.S. Means, but an assemblies estimate. Sub contractor input and vendor quotes will be analyzed.
Breadth 2: Electrical
For the electrical breadth study, a redesign of the transformers for the buildings electrical power distribution system. Currently there are an excessive amount of transformers used in the electrical power distribution. To reduce the number of transformers, the feeders must also be resized.
