Technical Assignment 1

The first technical assignment is intended to familiarize you with the conditions under which the building is constructed and the scope of work. Included in the report is a project summary schedule, building systems summary, project cost evaluation, site plan of existing conditions, local conditions, client information, project delivery system, and a staffing plan.

Technical Assignment 2

The second technical assignment is intended to be a more detailed analysis of the New Clinical Building project. Included in the report is a detailed project schedule, site layout plans for the superstructure, building enclosure, and finishes phases of the project, detailed superstructure estimate for the Children's Tower - Phase II, general conditions estimate and a summary of the critical industry issues brought up at the 2008 PACE Roundtable Meeting.

Technical Assignment 3

The thrid technical assignment is an investigation into what areas of the project would be good candidates for research, alternative methods, value engineering, and schedule compression. Included in the report are the top 3 constructability challenges, schedule acceleration scenarios, and value engineering topics. Finally, obervations of areas of the project that have been problematic with 5 proposed technical analysis to resolve them.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year-long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultants, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines rovided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.

"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 Dan Weiger. 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."
