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 project are solely the interpretation of Meghan Graber. 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.




Technical Assignments

Technical Assignment II is intended to provide an in-depth analysis of the cost and schedule for the Integrated Science Center project. Included is a detailed schedule showing the phasing amd sequencing of major activites. Site layout plans were constructed to depict changes in the site during major construction phases. A detailed structual systems estimate and general conditions estimate were calculated using R.S. Means. The final section included a discussion of the PACE Roundtable meeting and the issues of today's industry.

 

TECHNICAL ASSIGNMENT 3 - Posted November 21, 2008

Technical Assignment III is intended to provide an opportunity to being to identify areas of the project that will form the basis of my final thesis proposal. The core thesis investigation areas covered included value engineering topics, constructability challenges, and schedule acceleration scenarios. A number of possible proposal topics were identified and four were expanded upon in this assignment.
