The Construction Thread

no one is going to die from my design.

You could switch to engineering.

I wish my college offered some sort of get to know it type of engineering class, I'd look into it. Even a non-credit what is engineering would be good. You can take the early levels of Architecture to see if you like it, but not Engineering. Too many prerequisites.

There are new programs at some universities that allow people to explore engineering before doing all the prerequisites. More should follow their lead.

Good idea. They should make Architecture students spend a few weeks in the field doing construction, too.

Half of my professors were Construction Management majors. It's not actually working on the sites, but we've taken multiple field trips to job sites to meet with construction workers. We've also been required to meet with interior designers and landscape architects. It makes sense to me, how can you grasp the big picture without having some awareness of the parts?

Now, wish me luck in this year's AIA design competition. Only one of a handful of first year students nominated.

I'm sure you'll make lit proud.

And remember, steel is the finest building material. Strong, stable, stately, statuesque, stiff, steady, steadfast, stellar, sturdy, stunning, striking, stupendous, stylish, structual steel. Steel I tell you, steel.

Enjoy the competition!

Nice, but not always practical.

Steel does a fine job of holding the concrete up.

Or wood, for that matter.

From a home owners perspective, I hated when we had our entire house renovated .
Now that it's finished it's my dream home, but living through those months were hell.

Or ICF

Or Legos!

I am placing a $45,000 slab on grade foundation in Washington stating the 1st of July. That is if I wrap up the house I am building currently.
I priced the icf pans to the steel pans for the suspended section and the cantilevered sections. I feel the ICF pans are competitive by lowering rod cost and concrete volume. And the benifit is the insulation is already integrally placed.

Remember that when a structure is built "to code", codes are minimum requirements.

You have to learn it all in the field actually seeing it get built. All of my education was helpful, but only gave me the bare minimum.
