Questions With Correct Answers
Hard cost - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-construction costs from
| | | | | |
- labor
|
- materials
|
- utilities
|
How can you minimize waste and construction time by working to the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
readily available materials sizes? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-- save waste
| | | | | | | |
- reduce labor
| |
How can prefabrication affect budget? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-- less on
| | | | | | | | |
site time
| |
- reduced labor costs
| | |
How do special tools affect budget? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-cranes,
| | | | | | | | |
concrete pumps, etc. cost money. Be mindful of design decisions that
| | | | | | | | | | |
require them. |
,How can structural choices affect budget? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔--
| | | | | | | | |
material cost |
- thermal implications
| |
- accoustics
|
when is having a relationship with a builder good for budget? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-if they will take up challenges without unnecessarily high
| | | | | | | | | |
bids.
How can specific types of structure and new technologies affect labor
| | | | | | | | | | |
costs? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-- cheaper labor for common structural
| | | | | | | | |
systems in your area | | |
- New materials/tech may require expensive specialists.
| | | | | |
when to have more on-site time - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-easily
| | | | | | | | |
accessible site, affordable labor | | |
when to have more off-site time - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-difficult site,
| | | | | | | | | |
labor expensive/not available
| |
how does the amount of trades on a project affect budget. - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-more trades/specialists = higher cost and more contracts | | | | | | |
, How can form affect budget? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-- certain
| | | | | | | | |
materials may be needed to achieve form.
| | | | | |
- materials can be forced to do things but working with them as is saves
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
labor.
exposed vs concealed structure considerations - CORRECT
| | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-- exposed can require exterior insulation. | | | | |
- embracing materiality (helps think about mechanical)
| | | | | |
- long spans: materials and systems can be more condusive.
| | | | | | | | |
- precast concrete
| |
what are space frames good for? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-- long spans
| | | | | | | | | |
- dramatic forms
| |
- handling unstable terrain
| | |
design considerations for enclosed space? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | |
ando chapel: can be solid concrete because its more closed off
| | | | | | | | | |
design considerations for open space? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Crown
| | | | | | | |
hall: trying to miminize internal structure (ex: steel and frames to
| | | | | | | | | | |
minimize shear walls) | |
location considerations - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-- wet or dry climate
| | | | | | | |
