TECHNICAL ASSIGNMENTS

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 Madison Smith. 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 assignment one is an analysis of the existing conditions and construction management issues that influenced the design and construction of the Global Vascular Institute. The report includes a project schedule summary, building systems summary, project cost evaluation, site plan of existing conditions, local conditions, client information, project delivery system, and staffing plan.

Technical assignment two is an analysis of the features that affect the execution of the construction of the Global Vascular Institute. Topics that are included in this report include a detailed project schedule, a site layout plan for excavation and superstructure, a detailed structural estimate, and a general conditions estimate.

Technical assignment three is designed to identify areas of the project that have the potential for further research, alternative methods, value engineering, and schedule reduction for the Global Vascular Institute. Topics such as constructability challenges, schedule acceleration scenarios, value engineering topics, problem identification, and technical analysis methods are included in the report.
