Construction Management Report Writing Assignment:

Task: Project 1 – Work readiness and structural planning Part A: Getting work ready Note: This is a compulsory pre-assessment task that you must complete to enable you to carry out practical assessments later in this course. However, this task will not contribute to the results recorded for your assessment in this unit. Do not bother with this Part Part B: Planning for structural integrity - Class 1 and Class 10 building Plan for the erection of the structure of the Casey house (Class 1) and fencing (Class 10) including: 1. applying structural principles when planning the erection of the structure of the house and fencing including footings, floor system, structural and non-structural walls, roofing and external wall cladding. Refer to AS 1684 – Non-cyclonic. 2. Explore forces and loads, and mechanical properties of materials. 3. analysing plans and building materials for structural integrity to withstand bushfire, high winds, earthquake, etc. 4. seeking professional advice/input from architects, engineers, etc. 5. outlining how you would coordinate the demolition of any existing structures (e.g. a garage) in accordance with legislative and planning requirements, environmental standards, and safe work practices. 6. describing what is involved in conducting a pre-commencement site inspection. a) Read the scenario below that relates to the building of the Casey house and respond to the questions that follow. Scenario Consider the plans for the Casey house and imagine that you are responsible for planning the building of this house in a bushfire-prone alpine area: Casey plans – Sections, Elevations, Floor Plan, Site Plan. As part of the planning process you need to ensure the structures and materials you use will together withstand the loads and forces that will act upon them, and ensure the stability of the building. Outline the main structural principles that might apply to the construction of the Casey house including forces, loads and mechanical properties of materials. Include two examples of each principle that would apply to the Casey house. 1. Loads (include two examples): 2. Forces (include two examples): 3. Mechanical properties of materials (include two examples): b) Review the four Casey plans and consider the structural systems that will be used in the construction including the footings, floor system, structural and non-structural walls, roofing and external wall cladding: Casey plans – Sections, Elevations, Floor Plan, Site Plan. Remember that you are planning to build the Casey house in a bushfire-prone alpine area. Complete the table below outlining the materials and performance characteristics for each structural system, and where you would seek expert advice.
