User 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 Eric Fedder. 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.

 

 





SENIOR THESIS FINAL REPORT
"IMPROVING EFFICIENCY IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY"

 

Senior Thesis Final Report is intended to present the analyses performed on the three topics identified in the thesis proposal: techniques for success when shifting from negotiated GMP to hard bid lump sum contracts, eliminating site congestion through use of a precast panel facade and a feasibility and design study for a building integrated photovoltaic system. The findings in this report do not reflect any perceived mistakes by the actual project team and are purely a theoretical analysis performed for the purposes of the senior thesis capstone project.
