Propsal (pdf) Executive Summary (pdf) The thesis proposal dicussus research ideas for the spring 2008 semester. Included in the proposal is 3 anaylsis area and 2 breadth studies that ilustrate alternatives to the original building design. These alternatives will impact the building cost, schedule, and its constructibility through detail calculations and systems redesign. Revised Proposal(pdf) (Jan. 27, 2008) Revised Executive Summary (pdf) (Jan. 27, 2008)
Executive Summary This proposal is comprised of the Outpatient Medical Center general building information and three analysis areas that I will be using for my research next semester. The three analysis ideas for my research and analytical development improve; cost, constructability, and schedule reduction/acceleration and they are as followed: Analysis 1: Structural System This analysis focuses on the changing the structural system form cast in place concrete to structural steel. This analysis will illustrate the effects the steel structure has on the cost and schedule for the project. With this analysis is a breadth study of the re-designing of the structural system and re-design the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems if needed. Breadth Study 1: Analysis 2: Mechanical System This analysis looks that adding a heat recovery system to the mechanical system to improve the air quality and to reduce energy cost. This analysis will look at the cost effects add from adding this in the system and the overall cost effects of utilizing it. This Analysis has a breadth study of the mechanical system and the effects of adding a heat recovery system. Breadth Study 2:
