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 Casey Mowery. 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.l
Technical Assignment 1: Construction Project Management
The intention of this technical assignment was to become familiar with the conditions under which the Washington Christian Academy is being constructed. It addresses the following construction management aspects of a project:
- Project Schedule Summary
- Building Systems Summary
- Project Cost Evaluation
- Site Plan of Existing Conditions
- Local Conditions
- Client Information
- Project Delivery System
- Staffing Plan

Please note: These schedules have been created by Casey Mowery. While great effort was made to make these schedules realistic and accurate, they may not reflect the actual project schedules for the Washington Christian Academy project.
Technical Assignment 2: Cost and Methods Analysis
Technical assignment 2 analyzes the key features of the project that affect the project execution. The concepts addressed in the first technical assignment are addressed in much further detail and with greater focus. The following is included in technical assignment 2:
- Detailed Project Schedule
- Site Layout Planning
- Assemblies Estimate
- Detailed Structural System Estimate
- General Conditions Estimate

Please note: These schedules, estimates, and site plans have been created by Casey Mowery. While great effort was made to make them realistic and accurate, they may not reflect the actual methods used for the Washington Christian Academy project.
Technical Assignment 3: Alternative Methods and Research
This technical report identifies issues both in the construction industry and on the WCA project that will serve as the basis for my thesis research in the 2008 spring semester. These issues will be analyzed by research, value engineering analyses, constructability reviews, and schedule reduction analyses. The items discussed in Tech 3 are the following:
- Critical Industry Issues
- Critical Issues Research Method
- Problem Identification
- Technical Analysis Methods
- Weight Matrix
