Building

refurbishing buildings can be a lengthy and complex procedure. The outline of tasks and stages that have to be completed during project and when the building will be in use is presented below. This is a simple diagram of RIBA Plan of Work 2013 – bespoke planning tool used in the industry – full version is available in the Appendix 1. (RIBA, 2013a. p.16) Before we proceed with refurbishment planning I will have to carry out necessary surveys. Measurement – to assess the size of the building which will

BUILDING SERVICES Under the standards of the NCC and BCA, all high-rise commercial buildings require certain safety factors; as such, all comparable properties include a fire system, elevators, ventilation, security systems, emergency exits, up-to-date technologies and modern features such as ducted air-conditioning, elevators, monitor system, toilets and disabled facilities. Nevertheless, additional services have been provided by the buildings of 111 Eagle street and 100 Wickham street which render

Architects these days choose to design buildings inspired by nature and do it in such a way that they add in green walls or perhaps structures similar to that of a tree whereas Aboriginal architecture is as one with nature. It is as raw and untouched as it gets. The modern world wants to get in touch with nature but they’re losing the true essence to the meaning of nature. With the modernization of Australia, cross-cultural designs can be seen in a few buildings such as the Marika-Alderton House by

The purpose of this project is to survey the Sylvania Campus’s buildings and to briefly provide some major solutions. The Sylvania Campus was opened in 1968, southwest Portland between Tigard and Lake Oswego. It is the oldest and the largest of the Portland Community College Campuses. According to www.pcc.edu, each year the campus receives 30,049 students, it has 10 buildings that provides many different features and programs. For example, a fitness place includes a swimming pool “MakerSpace” for

Building construction is not an act of nature, and it typically is not a very environmentally-friendly activity. Every decision the architect and the engineer make throughout the development process; from smaller scale constructions such as farm lands, parks, single-housing units, and sewage system to a larger scale such as facilities, power plants, multi-family units, bridges, and highways, will have a very close and direct impact to the environment directly and indirectly. In order to achieve a

The issues to resolve and is shaping residential buildings, which is affected by many factors related to climatic, socio-demographic, urban and other objective and subjective. The main characteristic of all the adverse effects of the living environment on human health is their complexity and synergy, which is why it difficult to identify the individual living environment of negative factors that cause such non-specific, but the massive violations of health, such as malaise; reduced work capacity;

A. I was interested in building a Cornhole set because the materials were readily obtainable, and I had someone to help me build it. I chose this project because my dad could help me build the set. If my dad did not know woodcraft I would not have chosen this project for I would not know what to do. I was hoping to learn how to build a Cornhole set, I succeeded in this by following instructions to build it. We used a router on a trammel to cut the hole, this was very helpful and would have taken

In building construction and in fire prevention there are organizations that have created a useful system on how to determine what type of building falls under which category. The ICC (International Code Council) and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) create these building codes for the safety of firefighters. The two most commonly known standards for building classifications are the NFPA 5000 and also the International Building Code (IBC). The two are very similar, however, they different

Revision A building or home can be seen as a place of comfort where individuals feel safe, relaxed, and at peace, but structures aren’t as safe as they really seem. Throughout time natural disasters as the name say’s just happen naturally without warning, and because of this, building codes exist to help prevent the worst when one occurs. However even with all these codes structures just aren’t safe enough to withstand disasters. Changing the simple things like building codes could greatly impact

Unit: Building Regulations and Control in Construction Title: The origins and purpose of building control Pass 1 UK Building Regulations: The first building control legislation in England dates back to the Great Fire of London in 1666. The reasons why it spread out so quickly were the proximity of the timber buildings. The government of the day realised this and introduced by-laws to try to prevent it from happening again. So in 1667 they introduced the London Building Act. However it was
