Abstract

Our senior design project is set in Waxahachie, TX, on a 1-acre lot where we will oversee the construction of a luxurious single-family home within Tuscan Estates. The residence, located at 157 Aiden Drive, is planned to be a 3,000 square foot home, with an estimated completion time of 4 to 5 months.

We have been assigned the task of completing this project report, which includes sections on scheduling, sustainability, marketing, estimating and more. In our project, we are considering sustainable alternatives such as utilizing zip system plywood and blown foam insulation. as well as comparing different building materials and strategies to best fit the market need. Additionally, we are strategically planning features to ensure competitiveness with other builders in the neighborhood.

Abstract

The senior design project for Group 3 of Construction Management is the Borman Elementary School Replacement Project. The project scope includes a land swap with the City of Denton, construction of the new Borman Elementary, demolition of the old Elementary School, and construction of a soccer field on the previously demolished school. The project is government funded through a bond for expansion of the City’s school system. Some design features include an ICF wall system for a storm shelter, geothermal mechanical systems, large classrooms and modern features. Some site features include a landscape wall on the plan east end of the Elementary School that poses some construction challenges and problems that can arise. Also, there is no road that immediately circles the new elementary school; therefore 2 separate construction entrances must be monitored, along with the regular traffic during school hours. The schedule for the construction goes from January 2025 to the End of Summer 2026 to allow furniture and equipment to be moved from one building to the next.

DMNB Construction has been tasked with formulating one key deliverable, a full encompassing Senior Design Report that includes a business plan, quality management, BIM, site logistics, budget, schedule, sustainability, value engineering, risk assessment, and safety management. The Borman Elementary School Replacement Project has a number of obstacles and key factors that will be outlined in our report along with the traditional aspects of a construction project.
