Abstract

Purpose Construction, LLC is a group composed of the members John Sakwa, Jacob Bimbi, ChasinAllen, and Lorne Glenn. We have been tasked with working under Rogers-O'Briento tackle different phases of the construction process. Over the course of several months we have come together to use our construction and engineering skills to deliver a quality and efficient project that will serve Frisco for years to come.

Rogers-O'Brien will be building a 17 story multi-family high rise to share the Frisco skyline with the Omni Frisco and the Ford Center. This structure will house over 150 residents and will include parking, a pool, and engaging amenities for all. The building has over 270,000 sqftof floor space to accommodate for a vast array of unit types.

With the help of Dave Parante, Preconstruction Manager of Rogers-O'Brien, we were able to exercise our skills and talents to make a name for ourselves in our future work industry.

Abstract

The scope of this proposed project includes the construction of a restroom pavilion, a picnic pavilion, and a wood bench/feature. The construction would take place adjacent to an active playground on the grounds of the Texas Scottish Rite North Campus in Frisco, Texas.

In planning the construction of the proposed project, G2C created a report including an overview of the company business plan along with a comprehensive safety plan. G2C also reviewed the site logistics and layout, preformed a cost estimate, created a schedule, preformed a risk analysis, and wrote a value engineering proposal. Our budget for this project is approximately $500,000.

G2C collaborated with TDlndustriesthrough email and on-site visits to discuss and review the materials prepared for the proposed project. With the assistance of TDlndustrieswe believe that if the proposed playground additions were to be made, G2C would be successful at delivering the project on time and on budget.

Abstract

The project specifications and contract plans call for the replacement of a bridge and surrounding roads on State Highway 30 at the intersection of FM 2642 in Hunt County. The details supplied by TxDOTrequire us to install new on-ramps and exit-ramps, and to tear out the existing bridge assembly, frontage roads, main lanes of I-30, and the FM 2642. We are then instructed to install new concrete pavement and asphalt pavement over these road sections. Our team will be working with Austin Bridge and Road, and Lee Pelton with Austin will be our sponsor. Our project team has created the company, "Texas Roadworks", for this project, and Texas Roadworks will be our team name for the project. Texas Roadworks will be creating a project plan that implements all of the lessons and content that we have learned while attending the Construction Engineering Technology (CNET) program. In this project plan, we will be discussing the logistics, schedule, budget, risks, business plan, safety, market analysis, sustainability analysis and value analysis.

Abstract

Our senior design project is the Plano East Senior High School Classroom Addition located in Plano, TX. Our project includes the new construction of 24 classrooms, 14 of which will be enclosed by concrete masonry units (CMU's) and serve as a Tornado/Severe weather shelter for that addition of the school. The first level will have 11 classrooms and will be able to hold a total of 291 occupants. The second level will have 12 classrooms holding 268 occupants. It will feature an assembly area complete with presentation area that is capable of holding an additional 127 occupants for a grand total of 686 occupants between the two levels.

The Tornado/Severe weather shelter area is part of the 2015 International Building Code Group E, Section 423.4. Normally, the International Code Council's 500 gives construction requirements and designs for a "safe room" during severe weather. The IBC's latest version now specifically mandates that areas where wind speeds can reach up 250 MPH are required to have this shelter. This is a huge step in keeping the students and faculty safe during events that can frequent the North Texas area. The campus will also be able to enjoy a new walking path that will run between an existing pond on the South side of the campus and join at the steps of an existing building as well.

Our project team is tasked with creating a project report that aligns with the design project. The sections covered will include: Logistics and Layout, Budget, Schedule, Sustainability, Value Analysis, Risk Assessment, Safety Plan, Business Plan, and Computer Modeling program such as BIM.
