Methods and Materials of Construction I
Building codes are rules for the contractors, architects, and for the owner. Basically the codes are for to protect public safety, health, and welfare in construction and buildings. The building is a law that is amendments to the builders. With out the building codes we won’t be protected in buildings. Here are some of the buildings codes.
Frost line is underground water in soil is expected to freeze. The depth is mostly depends on the location of the weather conditions in the area. When frost heave it can damage the building by moving location of the foundations. Foundations are expected to build under the frost depth. The building code requires for the northern five feet.

These nineteen groups find the classification on occupancy. Each group has each standard building code.
Minimum headroom for stairways in all parts of the stair way is no less than six feet and eight inches. It measured from vertically sloped plane. It should be from the floor to platform.
Obtaining building permits for the property owners who wants to demolish, build, etc. He has to get a building permit from DOB. The entire house, loft, office, and etc. to be build on building code and zoning requirements. The fee for the permit is estimated about $100. The application should send to DOB before the construction work. Once the application has been approved the contractor may apply for permit.
Marquee is a tent with open sides. Used for entertainment. They should be constructed to project beyond the street line provides. It should be at least 10 feet from the ground, yet get the structure may get the support from the building. It should also be 2 feet from the curb line.
Roof loads are snow, wind, rain, and etc. the roof should be build for winds, live and other loads. The Roofs with slope of twenty degrees from horizontal they should have thirty per square foot of horizontal projection.
Minimum headroom for stairways should not be less than
After enactment of zoning by-law any new by-law application will be investigate and apply by City’s Chief Building Official and Committee of adjustment.
Further one this assignment will continue on the infrastructure of the economy which supports construction, this will include told, power tools, transport for materials and any objects used in order to complete a construction project which has to be order, rented or a special efforts made n order to allow for these certain services.
The 10’ x 10’ sunroom addition would encroach into the 30’ required minimum setback. An approved Variance is required for construction.
Code of City of NY § 20-385-402 Home Improvement Business concerns the regulation of home improvement businesses in New York City, it requires in most cases for constructors to have the proper license.
For more information refer to the code chapter 143, division 3, or in the “Land use, zoning and building code information” section.
Throughout this paper, I will examine eight disastrous events that led to the establishment of new buildings codes. The tragedies that took place during these events paved way for, new and improved codes that were implemented to help protect health, safety, and the natural resources that sustain us. The eight different events that I chose to research, I felt had the most significant impact in the development of some of the most commonly used building codes today. The first event that I will discuss is 9/11, 9/11 is one of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil. The second event is one of the largest hotel fires that ever broke out, which happened on November 21, 1980, at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The third event that I
Before setting your heart on a specific area and location, check the relevant zoning limitations to see what you can and cannot build there. There are six common zoning designations to be aware of:
When it comes to purchasing the home of your dreams, building codes aren’t typically one of the first topics you would think to bring up…However, they can play a huge role during your homebuying journey. Some neighborhoods and subdivisions require you to have either a site built home or a modular home.
A sidewalk is provided in the front yard near the parking spaces that allows access to every condominium unit and access to parking. The minimum off-parking space requirement are met; 80 parking spaces are required, 88 parking spaces provided including four handicap spaces. The buildings meet the minimum setback requirements for the C-2 zoning district.
Developers are the first to be involved in the purchase of a parcel of land, financing and project feasibility. Once the use of the parcel is identified, a team of architects and contractors put together a set a drawings for building permit application. The local government jurisdiction then analyses the documents for code compliance to a set of building codes that has been created by even more engineers and government officials. Once approved, the drawings are released as approved documents for construction to contractors, subcontracts and engineers. During the construction process, the local government provides inspections to the project to ensure that the building is being completed per the specifications of the architect and engineer. Finally, the building is completed and approved for occupancy by tenants, who then hire insurance complies to insure their final product. The entire construction process is governed by a set of complex code requirements. Most typically from the International Building Code as written and adopted by the International Code Council. As stated in the introduction, these codes are the result of a generation of building disasters, which have been adopted by the States building division and enforced by the local jurisdiction. All parties in the process must interact with the code requirements, but
The sloping orientation of the landscape maximises public space whilst having a relatively small footprint. Some roofing areas of the building
The aim of building regulations is to promote standards for most aspects of a building 's construction. This includes energy efficiency, water usage, fire safety, the needs of people, including those with disabilities in accessing and moving around buildings.
Larkin put "The Building" in the middle of his collection for a reason, it is a pillar that supports the rest of the collection with its long lines and many verses, and because of this, is maybe a bit more clearer than some of his other poems in the ideas and views that are expressed through it. Of course, being a Larkin a poem, there is the obligatory underlayer which so many people miss, but in "The Building" it is easier to discern and comprehend.
In the United States, construction has always been one of the most dangerous industries to work in. The number of fatalities that occur in this industry year after year demonstrate this. In 2014, 19.6% of worker fatalities, in private industry, were in construction (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015) despite the industry comprising only 6.8% of the total work force. This epidemic is not unique to the United States. Essentially every country faces similar problems regarding construction safety. For example, in 2004 the Australian construction industry employed approximately 8% of the countries workforce. However, workers compensation statistics indicated that the industry’s incidence rate was 28.6 per 1000 employees,
Finally, many tools were used to document our site visits that would used during the modeling of the buildings. As stated before, PlanGrid was very useful when viewing the construction sheets. PlanGrid was used on an iPad for easy access during the site visit. The iPad, as well as our phones, was used to take pictures of any notable changes or major features of the buildings. The pictures were used as references during the modeling portion of the project. A measuring tape was also used to take the dimensions of sections of the buildings that were not clearly labeled on the construction sheets. For example, the Architecture Annex’s terrance needed a measuring tape to measure its dimensions because the top-down view was absent from the
