Building

Design Engineers are expected not just to design for the structural integrity of the building but also to consider the buildability of the structures with regard to health, safety and welfare of everybody in the influence of the structures. This consideration should be done prior to construction work, during construction, while the structure is undergoing maintenance and at normal operation time. Health, safety, and welfare also continue throughout the lifespan of the said structure, that is…

architects and designers very creative and ambitious in building projects. The designs are becoming innovative and attractive. To achieve this, tremendous amount of weight placed was on materials leading to their inability to bear this significant weight. Consequently, to be able to achieve the structural design and strength engineers developed the truss. Trusses are web-shaped structures that are able to bear tremendous weight. They are used in buildings and bridges of all sizes. Trusses allow…

There are a number of architectural projects that are based on the concept of pragmatism. The key element in a pragmatic approach to architecture is function; the pragmatist…

1. Of the three different options, I would advise the client to choose to use construction management with a guaranteed maximum price as their construction procurement method, rather than design-bid-build or design-build.

Firstly it would likely change after the design…
