Introduction to National Building Code and Steps in a Construction project
1 Why are building codes or standards essential for the modeling/ efficiency of drawings in Revit ?
a
1 The buiding code and standerd essentil to enshure the safety of the people the building standerds are given bhy the local the orities
2 the group of expert engneers who have experice ofmaney yerars cn also give building guidlines
3 if we use the building standers the design which we are giving will not have any problem in the getting the approval of the local athorites
4 if we build a high building near the airport there is a possibility of a disaster so the building will not get the permisttion of the athorites
5 if we use the buikding standerds the building will have a long life span
6 basd on diffrent building condition there are diffreent building codes
7 the building code also deals with the quality of the material used o the constructor can not usethe low graded material
2) From the National Building Code list the groups that will be essential to you when you begin modeling in Autodesk Revit.
A from the building code the groups that are esential for us during the modeling are
1 ventilation
2 accesibility
3 sustainability
4 durability
5 saftey
6 asthetics
7 cost effectivness
the buiding we aredesing must have a proper ventiltion otherwie the building will look very dark in the morning hours
the buillding we are desing should be accesible to every one for ecxample if a speciay challenged person want to come inside the building a ramp or and lift should be provided such that all the people can acces the builing very easily th entrance of the building should be according to the building standers
the building must be safe in the life threating situation such as fire accedents the desiner shhould proidde an emergency exit through the stairs becouse the lift and the escaleters may not work in this condition the desiner should provide fire safety rooms which may be build with such a material that can withstand the high ammount of heat
the building should b cost ffecient so that the investor can get the best prodect in the ammont of money he is spending if the cost of the building exceedds the cost of budget proposed by the companey the desiner maay sufferr a loss
the buildingg shoud have good aesthetics so the building looks good from the out side if it a multi story residential apppartment it should be desined such a way thhat it should please the view of the coustomer the coutomer should want to buy the flat in that building
the building should b durabe for long life so the investors can get a good return on the amount of monet that they have spent
3 List the five major steps that occur in project cycle . The steps should include from conceptualization of project to maintenance and final stage.
A THE DIFFRENT STAGES that ccour in a project cycle are
1 seeing the site area
2 planing the process
3 desing the project
4 construction of the project
5 maintannenc and repair
first a teamof civil engineers will go to the project site and will do a survey of the and
they will chech the weather conditions soil conditions topographical factors
they will take the measurments of that placr=e and go to the office
from that dat collected the egineers will tart to pan the project
the data will be given to the desin enginers they will design th project this maky take some time
after the complition of the project the building should be maintained and repired at the time of need
5) 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
A the buildings are classified into diffrent types such as reidential educationalinstitutional ,assembly , commercial
a four unit apartment is a residentisal buildng
b th scool comes under educaational buildiing
c the unit shop comes under commercial/business
d multi shop story complex comes under assembly
e steel machine factory comes under industrial bulding
6 Distinguish the roles of Design team and Management team
the deign team have tto do the dising part they have the duty to make the building look aetheic from the outside
the design team must know the design related builging codes
so they can tackle any situation'
the design team must also play an active role at the time of counstruction so mistakes can be avoided
the design team sould contact an expert or experinced engineer who may tll them if the design that they have ctreated is practucally
performable or not
the engineer can also make some correction in the design if possible
the mangment team is responible to deliver the oroject
the mangement team should see that the counstruction i done in time
the mangment team shoul also see that the counstruction should be done in budget
the mangmntteam is responsible to check the quality of the material used in construction
4 THE EXAMPLE OF DIFFRENT DECIPLING INVOLVED IN CONSTRUCTION ARE
A finansing and estimating
2 counstruction
3 contracts and bids
4 mangment
5 surveying
