10) List of Flow Chart of a Project tree in terms of Construction model , Architecture & Structure model .
A) For the construction model the project tree is as -
i) Site access
ii) Logistics and storage
iii) Quality control
iv) Outstanding contract details
v) Outstanding design-related challenges
vi) Health and safety
B) For architectural model -
i) Schematic design
ii) Design Development
iii) Construction Documents
iv) Bidding
v) Construction Adminintration.
C) For structural model -
i) The primary objective of structure analysis and design is to produce a structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its
intended life.
ii) If improperly designed,elements of a structure would fail causing serious consequences such as large expenses.
iii) Once the architechtural engineer sets the function and layout of the structure,the role of the structural engineer begins which can be
summarized in the following steps to develop a safe,functional and economic structures.
