Introduction to National Building Code and Steps in a Construction project

AIM - Why are building codes or standards essential for the modeling/ efficiency of drawings in Revit.

ANS - THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANCE OF THE BUILDING CODES AND IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR MODELLING.

1. A SET OF STANDARDS THAT ARE UNIFORM TO ALL STRUCTURE -

THIS BUILDING CODES ARE PROVIDE THE SET OF STANDARDS THAT ARE UNIFORM TO ALL THE STRUCTURE THEREFORTE IT GETS THE MODELLING PROCESS.

2. IT PROTECTS THE CONSTRUCTION SAFETY -

THIS CODES PROTECTS THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC RESIDANCE. THE DESIGNER SONSTENTLY REFERS THIS CODES FOR MODELLING WHICH REMAINS THE KNOWLEDGE THIS FEILDS.

3. MODERN CONSTRUCTION METHOD -

THID STANDARDS ALSO HELP THE GOVERMENT AGENCIES TO IMPROVE THE PLANS AS BECOME THE LOW OF PARTICULAR JURISTIFCATION THAN FOMALLY ERACTED BY APPROPRIATE GOVERMENT AGENCIES THEREFORE IT PROVIDES THE GOVERMENT STANDERDS WITH APPROVAL OF GOVERMENT AGENCIES FOR APPROVING THE PLAN.

4. PROVIDES BUILDING STANDARDS -

THE BUILDING CODES ARE VERY HELPFUL TO PROVIDE BUILDING STANDARDS AND IT IS INCREASE THE WORKFLOW OF THE MODELING. AND IT ALSO PROVIDE BUILDING EFFICIENCY IN BUILDING DESIGN OR MODE.

AIM -

From the National Building Code list the groups that will be essential to you when you begin modeling in Autodesk Revit.

ANS - BY NBC ( NATIONAL BUILDING CODES) THE FOLLOWING GROUP IS SUBDIVIDED IN 9 CATEGORIES

A. RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

B. EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS

C. ASSEMBLY BUILDINGS

D. INSTITUTIONAL BUILDINGS

E. MERCANTILE BUILDINGS

F. BUISNESS BUILDINGS

G. STORAGE BUILDINGS

H. INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

I. HAZARDOUS BUILDINGS

AIM -

List the five major steps that occur in project cycle . The steps should include from conceptualization of project to maintenance and final stage.

ANS -

1. INITIATING

2. PLANNING

3. EXECUTING

4. MONITORING

5. CLOSING

1. INITIATING -

IT IS NECCESARY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROJECT.FIGUREOUT THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT DETERMINE THAT ARE THE PROJECT IS FEASABLE AND IDENTIFIED THE MAJOR DELEVERABLE FOR THE PROJECT. MAJOR STEPS INVOLVE IN INISIALISATION IS UNDERTAKING THE FEASIBILITY STUDY IN IDENTIFY THE SCOPE. IDENTIFY THE DELEVERABLES OUT OF THESE PROJECTY. THEN IDENTIFIES THE PROJECT TAB HOLDER.

2. PLANNING -

ONCE THE PRPOJECT WILL APPROVE TO MOVE FORWARD BASED ON BUISSNESS CASE SETTLEMENT OF WORK A PROJECT INITIATE DOCUMENT THE NEXT FACE PLANNING. DURING THIS FACE THE LARGE PROJECT IS BROKEN DOWN IN SMALLER PARTS BUILD YOUR TEAM AND PREPARE YOUR SCHEDULE FOR THE COMPLITION OF ASSINGMENT.LIKE PROJECT PLAN , WORKFLOW DIAGRAM, GATTHERING RESOURSES.

3. EXECUTING -

THIS FACE TURNS THE PLANNING IN TO ACTION THAT IS FROM PLAN TO ACTIONTHE PROJECT MANAGER JOB IS TO KEEP THE WORK OR TURN THE ORGNISE THE HE OR SHE ORGANISE THE TEAM MEMBERS TO MANAGE TIME LINES AND MAKE SURE THE WORK IS DONE ACCORDING TO THE AS PER ORIGINAL PLAN.

4. MONITERING -

ORGANISER FOR CLOSE TEAM MEMBER ABOUT THE PROJECT COMMUNICATING THE TEAM MEMBER PROJECT MONITORING QUALITY OF THE WORK THEN FINALLY MANAGING THE BUDGET AS PER THE INITIATING THE PROJECT.

5. CLOSING -

ONCE THE TEAM HAS COMPLETED THE WORK. OF PROJECT CLOSURE TAKE STEPS. IN THIS CLOSURE STEPS WE PROVIDE THE FINAL DELEVARABLE RELEASE AND DETERMINNING THE SUCCES OF THE PROJECT. THE MAJOR STEPS INVILVE IN A CLOUSER PROJECT ARE TO ANALYSE THE PROJECT PERFOMANCE ANALYSING THE TEAM PERFOMANCE. DCUMENTING PROJECT CLOUSER NEED TO CONDUCTING POST IMPLIMENTATIONS REVIWES AND FINNALY ACCOUNTING FOR USEED AND UNUSED BUDGET.

AIM - Give examples of different disciplines involved in construction of a project

ANS - THE FOLLOWING SEVEN DICIPLINE INVOLVE IN COMNSTRUCTION PROJECT.

1. CONSTRUCTION

2. FINANCE AND ESTIMATING

3. CONTRACTS AND BID

4. GEOTECHNICAL

5. MANAGEMENT

6. STRUCTURAL

7. SURVEYING

1. CONSTRUCTION - MANAGING THE BUILDING OF CIVIL ENGINEERING SYESTEM BEGINING TO END WHICH INCLUDE THE COORDINATION BOTH THE OWNERS CONTRACTORS AND DESIGNERS ALSO.

2. FINANCE AND ESTIMATING - FOR THIS DECIPLINE THEY CAN OPERATING THE BUISNESS WORLD TO INCLUDE THE ACCOUNTING FINANCIAL CONTRACTS AND ESTIMATING THE COST OF ACTIVITIES.

3. CONTRACTS AND BID - THE DEMONSTRATING STORY BIDDING PRACTISES AND EFFECTIVE CONTRACTS ADMINISTRATION

4. GETECHNICAL - DESINING FOUNDATION AND EARTHQUAKE SYESTEM TO SUPPORT SOIL ITSELF AND TRANSFER LOAD FROM STRUCTURE.IN TO THE EARTH LIMITING SETTLEMENTS.

5. MANEGEMENTS - MANAGEMENTS HELPS TO MANAGING EQUIPMENTS PERSONAL AND SUPPLY TO BUILD MORE EFFECTIVELY ALSO EFFICIENTLY AND ECONOMICALLY

6. STRUCTURAL - STRUCTURAL TEAM DESINING SYESTEM OF STRUICTURAL MEMBER USE TO SUPPORT LOADS FROM A SPECIFIED PUBLIC FUNCTION SUCH AS BRIDGE, BUILDING, DAMS, AND TOWERS ALSO.

7. SURVEYING - APART FROM SURVIYING TEAM THEY CAN MEASURE PHYSICAL FUTURE TO INCLUDE HORIZONTAL DISTANCE AND ELEVATION DIFFRENCEC TO DETERMINE THE PROPERTIES LINE LAYOUT BUILDING AND PRODUCING THE MAPS.

AIM - How are buildings classified ? Place the following buildings under each category
a. Four unit apartments
b. School with capacity of 1000 students
c. A single unit shop.
d. Multi story Shopping complex
e. Steel machine factory

ANS - THE FOLLOEING BUILDINGS SRE CLASSIFIED BY NATIONAL BUILDING CODES THAT IS

1. FOUR UNIT APARTMENTS - THIS IS COMES UNDER THE GROUP A - RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

2. SCHOOL WITH CAPACITY OF 1000 STUDENTS - THIS IS COMES UNDER THE GROUP B - EDUCAIONAL BUILDING

3. A SINGLE UNIT SHOP - THIS IS COMES UNDER THE GROUP E - MERCANTILE BUILDING

4. MULTI STORY SHOPPING COMPLEX - THIS IS COMES UNDER THE GROUP E - MERCANTILE BUILDING

5. STEEL MACHINERY FACTORY - THIS IS COMES UNDER THE GROUP H - INDUSTRIAL BUILDING

AIM - Distinguish the roles of Design team and Management team

ANS - DESIGN TEAM - THE FOLLOWING ROLE OF DESIGN TEAM

1. HELPS TO FINALISE THE PLAN -

THE PROPER REQUIRING SUCH MULTIDICIPLINE INPULS NEED SET QUARDINATED APPROCH AMONG THE PROFFESIONALS FOR PROPER INTEQRATION OF VARIOUS DECENT INPUTS.

2. EVALUTIONARIES THE PROJECT -

THE COMPOSITION OF TEAM SHALL DEPAND ON THE NATURE AND MAGNITUDE OF THE PROJECT DESIGN IS THE EVALUTING AND PARTICIPATING THE PROJECT.

3. IMPLIMENTATION OF THE DESIGNES -

TO ENSURE PROPER IMPLIMENTATION OF DESIGN THE DESIGN TEAM MAY ASSOCIATED DURING THE BOTH CONSTRUCTION AND EXECUTION STAGE ALSO THEY ARE FOLLOW THE RULE OF NBC 2000 AND CLOUSER 4.1

B MANAGEMENT TEAM -

1. ACCOMPLISHMENT OF PROJECT -

THEY HAVE TO ACHIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF A PROJECT ACCORDINGS WITH THE DESIGN AND SPECIFICATION IN A STIPULATED TIME AS WELL AS THE CROSS FRAME WORK.

2. EXECUTE THE DESIGN -

THIS TEAMS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAY TO DAY EXECUTION. AS WELL AS THE DESIGN SUPERVISION QUALITY CONTROLE THEY ALSO ENSURE INTERDICIPLINERY COORDINATION DURING THE CONSTRUCTION STAGE.

3. ACHIVE THE SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT -

THEY HAVE ALSO RESPONSIBLE TO SATISFACTORY COMPLITION OF THE PROJECT WITH TRAGGER TO TIME AND QUALITY SOME MEMBERS OF DESIGN TEAM MAYALSO INCLUDING THIS TEAM. IT IS IMPORTANT TO LEADER MEMBERS OF THE TEAMS DEPAND ON THE COMPLEXING OF THE PROJECT.

AIM - Refer to NBC, Identify the modeling requirements for the project ( from week 4).
a. Height Limitations
b. Area Limitations
c. Room sizing
d. Wall height
e. Thickness based on fire life and safety
f. Passageway requirements

ANS -

BY NATIONAL BUILDING CODES IDENTIFYING THE GIVEN POINTS.

1. HEIGHT LIMITATION -

AS PER NBC 2005 THE CLAUSE 2.5 THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING SHALL NOT EXCEED 15 METER. AND THERE NO NEEDS TO PROVIDE LIFT ABOVE 15M.

IN MY MODEL THE WALL HEIGHT IS 3M. WHICH IS GREATER THAN THE MINIMUM WALL HEIGHT SPECIFIED IN THE CODE . MY MODEL IS FOLLOW THE NBC GUIDELINE.

5. THICKNESS BASED ON FIRE LIFE AND SAFETY -

THE THICKNESS FOR MESONARY WALLS IS GIVEN BY THE TABLE TOOL OF FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY SECTION OF NBC 2005.

IN MY MODEL THE WALL THICKNESS IS 8" (203 MM ) WHICH IS GREATER THAMN THE SPECIFIED VALUE WHICH IS GREATER THAN THE SPECIFIED IN THE NBC CODE BOOK HENCE THE MODEL IS SAFE.
