Once the drawing, the list of materials (including project cost), and the construction steps are all complete, students can begin the most fun part of woodworking: the construction. The first step in constructing a unit is framing the project. The frame is the base of the project, and the rest is added on afterwards. Face framing is the most common, as it is the easiest, though base framing can also be done. Framing includes connecting rails and verticals at right-angle intersections, via different connection methods. When framing is completed, then students can begin adding the other features of the project. The sides, bottoms and tops are the next pieces to be added, followed by drawers, doors, shelves, or baseboards. Once all the main features are in place, the back can be added on, and any edges can be routed if the plan calls for it. Afterwards, students can place all of the hardware including handles, hinges, and knobs onto the project. The project is then completely constructed, leaving sanding, staining and varnishing to be done. Once the project is finished, the student can then pay for it and take it home, unless there is a showcase of each student’s work at the end of the

Before furnishing your home, it is important to take into account the area of your living room, and bedrooms. The position or direction of of windows and the door is also vital. Then, the next process is to calculate the

The goal fo architectural and engineered construction drawings is to organize, clarify, and effectively convey an enormous amount of detailed information in order to describe how a complicated building, such as a medical clinic or net-zero house must be built. Andrew's construction drawings have a quality of sophistication that demonstrates his genuine understanding of the complex codes and project criteria. It is important to note, on all of the projects Andrew has been involved in, I have never had a change order; this is undoubetly due to the consistant high quality of his work. I have no doubt that his concetrated attention to detail will be a critical asset in his future career.

There are numerous materials that are significant when it comes to constructing a building. Each one is vital in their purpose. This paper will address the materials that I feel are some of the most important aspects in building; foundation, wood, and concrete.

The design and construction of buildings can be a complicated business involving different professions, contractors, sub-contractors and operatives. This type of work is varied and employs many construction personnel with different roles and responsibilities, working together to complete a project in as successful way- on time, on budget and to the right specification. A large project would involve a great number of different activities:

ARCHITECTURAL FAILURES, SAFETY MEASURES AND RISKS IN CONSTRUCTION - NIA 303 (2) Text of Paper presented to the NIAPPE preparatory seminar at Digital Bridge Institute on 6 March 2012 by Arc. J. O. Toluhi PART I – ARCHITECTURAL FAILURES The concept of architectural failures is better understood from the perspective of what architecture really is, criteria for architectural project success and what failure connotes. What architecture means Architecture is defined in various ways by architects and non-architects alike depending on their focus or area of emphasis. You must be familiar with the definition offered in the ARCON law which attempts to capture different ramifications of the profession. By Le Corbusier’s definition, "Architecture is

Human beings have long been using the activity of building construction. Take the Arabian region for example, the pyramids in Egypt are one of the most shocking and astonishing wonders in the world. Pyramids were built using a well-organized building system which nobody still seems to know, yet everyone recognizes and admits that it is so well built that it lasted for over 2000 years. Humans for ages have been building shelters and buildings using different types of building systems. For centuries, the traditional building system has been used for almost all types of buildings. The mechanized building system was later introduced and adopted in many developing countries. Nowadays, countries are tending to lean into a far more developed system due to the many advantages it offers; that building system is the industrialized building system. But what exactly differentiates the industrialized building system from the other two systems and what advantages does it offer? This paper will briefly introduce the traditional and mechanized building systems to compare them later with the industrialized building construction system and show the reasoning behind countries adapting this system.

You are required to arrange a visit to a construction site, exhibition, event, office or other relevant location (individually or in groups) and report on your findings. Your report can include information such as the management structure, health and safety issues, technical aspects, sustainability, financial information, innovation, materials, plant etc. You should include appropriate photos, graphics and any other supporting information. You may arrange and attend visits in groups but your report must be your own original work. (c 1500 words)

An existing building that is SGI JUNIOUR BOYS HOSTEL, ATIGRE which is of G+5 stories and has been taken as a compartivie study . This buiding has been scheduled manually and total time taken by the building is about three years .In this study we have tried to revise the schedule and reduce the total duration of the project.

The three topics listed above are all very important aspects that are included in all engineering and construction projects. These aspects are all handled in costs effective manners as well as with the ultimate safety in mind. Operating on the construction side of projects can be very dangerous, but today’s world has come a long way to ensure that safety is a top priority. The job site layout is an important step that is continuously changing throughout the entirety of the project. When choosing the site many aspects must be taken under consideration, including: structure size, location of adjacent roads, soil conditions, construction schedule, and many other aspects. Once a site is chosen the client must provide the contractor with proper parking, sanitary facilities, trailers, and material storage in order to keep the construction going at the scheduled pace. If any of these factors are missing from the job location site it can force the project to take longer and in turn cost more money to the client in most cases.

Determine with “Site Chief” and “Site Engineer” of the contractor company construction methods, materials and quality standards.
