Design of a Two-story Office/Apt

For: Dr. Cris Koutsougeras

Advisor: Mr. R.E. Rode

Prepared by Joshua Price

Abstract

● My project was to designing a two-story office/apartment.

● It required knowledge that was acquired throughout courses in the construction concentration.– Largest concentration being in Autocad

Introduction

● Purpose of this project was to design a building within budget that incorporated certain materials– Design a steel framed building– Most steel being used is steel that I already have– Had to plan the structure to incorporate these materials

● Research on materials– what will be the best materials based on feasibility and

cost

Procedures

● Three phases for project– Predesign phase– Design phase – Preconstruction phase

Predesign Phase

● Predesign phase also known as the planning phase– Project was defined based on function and size– First task of this phase was the project definition

● Includes activities, functions, and spaces required– This included approximate sizes and relationships

Project Definition

● Function of building– Serve as an office, pool house, and apartment

● First floor– Includes office, half bath, full bath, and laundry room

● Office will be approximately 25’x20’● Half bath approximately 6’x6’6”● Full bath approximately 6’x14’● Laundry room approximately 6’x14’

Project Definition

● Relationships of first floor– Office will be the front of the building – Bathrooms and laundry room will be on the backside of

the office– Access to the half bath and laundry room will be from

office and outside● Full bath will only have access from outside

Downstairs Floor Plan

Project Definition

● Second floor– Includes bedroom, closet, bathroom, and area for

kitchen, living room, and dining● Bedroom – 15’x15’● Closet – 6’x15’● Bathroom – 13’8”x15”● Remaining area – 39’x35’

Upstairs Floor plan

Design Phase

● Consists of schematic design stage, design development stage, and construction documents stage– Schematic design

● Bubble/block diagram● Preliminary sketch● Spaces were optimized by laying out the building according to

its uses

Design Phase

● Design Development Stage– Schematic design developed further

● Preliminary working drawings– Includes floor plans and elevations

● Construction Documents stage– Construction drawings developed

● Finalized steel design, stairwells, electrical, etc.

Drawings

Preconstruction Phase

● Budget/cost analysis– Used to evaluate feasibility and impact of materials and

techniques● Decide between metal or wood framing● Went with wood – prices were close and wood is stronger

● Estimate– Materials and labor broken down to develop projected

cost

● Schedule– Planning of activities

Budget/Cost Analysis

● Budget for Project is $80,000● Estimated total cost is $155,905.18● Due to total running over budget, project will be

broken into phases– Phase 1 – Slab, Structural, and Framing

● Total estimate - $114,705.18● Savings - $34,532.00● New total for Phase 1 - $80,173.18

– Slightly over budget
