Purpose

This project will exercise the skills and abilities learned from the Construction Engineering Technology program.

The apartment is a theoretical build, but all activities and documents will be done as if it were actually being built.

Pre-Design and Design Phase(First Semester Fall 2014)

Preliminary Drawings Rough Estimate Site Assessment and Selection Economic Feasibility Assessment Decision on Building Layout Investigation of Building Codes

The Building

Wood Framed Concrete Foundation

Estimated 3,826 sq. ft.

Estimated 957 sq. ft. for each unit.

The Roof Design

Gable Style Roof

6/12 roof pitch Simple design makes it cheap and easy to build.
