Study Notes
Considerations in a Construction Project
- Typical considerations include budget, timelines, regulations, and environmental impact.
- Factors like site conditions, labor availability, and material sourcing can also influence project execution.
- Not a consideration: aesthetics alone without functionality or practicality.
Types of Facilities as Construction Project Deliverables
- Residential buildings such as single-family homes and multi-family apartments.
- Commercial structures including offices, retail spaces, and warehouses.
- Institutional facilities like schools, hospitals, and government buildings.
- Infrastructure projects: roads, bridges, and utilities.
Integrated Engineering Disciplines in a Construction Project
- Civil engineering focuses on structural design, site development, and infrastructure.
- Mechanical engineering addresses HVAC systems, elevators, and plumbing.
- Electrical engineering covers lighting, wiring, and power distribution systems.
- Environmental engineering ensures compliance with environmental regulations and sustainable practices.
Examples of Public Facilities that Can Be Constructed
- Schools, which facilitate education for various age groups.
- Parks and recreational facilities that promote community well-being.
- Libraries, providing educational resources and community engagement.
- Hospitals, ensuring public health and safety.
Infrastructure Included in a Construction Project Beyond Buildings
- Transportation systems such as roads, highways, and railways.
