Advisor: Mr. Rode’

Purpose The purpose of this project is to show that I can

complete a construction project using all aspects of the construction process.

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

Pre-Design and Design Phase(First Semester)

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

The Building Wood Framed Concrete Foundation

Estimated 3,826 sq. ft. for each building

Estimated 957 sq. ft. for each unit.

Preliminary Drawings Drawings will be used for a rough estimate and

budget.

One story layout. Two story layout.

Each building will have 4 units. Three bedrooms Two Bathrooms Kitchen Utility Living and Dining Room

Two Story FourplexFirst Floor

Economic Feasibility Assessment

Cost/Benefits Analysis• Do the Benefits outweigh the Costs for the

owner? • Will it be a profitable business ?• How long will it take for the business to pay

itself off?

Site Assessment and Selection Location will be in the Hammond area. The owner would like a site big enough for future

expansion, if desired.

Once the land is chosen it will be surveyed. Building codes will be acquired.

The location, size, and cost of property will determine:• The building layout that will be used. • The number of buildings that can be built on

the property.

Conclusion The completion of the activities this

semester will allow the full completion of the pre-construction documents for next semester.
