After multiple preliminary red lines from our professors and others around the project, we have finally got our construction documents to level that we need to send them to the engineer. Now that they have been sent off, we will wait on the engineer to approve or deny the proposal and make the necessary changes [...]
Tag: Construction Documents
Are we there yet?
Over the last couple of weeks we have been working on construction documents to send to the engineer. We're getting our first taste of an actual document set that has to be approved before construction can start, and overall I think this is an awesome experience and opportunity that we may not have again in [...]
Cropstop Showcase
The race to finish the Construction set is almost over, and all of our hard work will have paid off. The Construction Documents have been redlined for the last time! Finishing touches are being made to the drawings, and they are being corrected at this very moment. The Construction set will be sent out any [...]
Team Work!
As you know, we have been hard at work on our construction document set for Crop Stop 2 that will hopefully be sent to the engineer by tomorrow. Through this trial and error process, we have definitely learned a tremendous amount. Everyone in Studio V this semester is in undergrad, and none of us have [...]
Construction Documents
Finally we got redlines from professor Pastre. It looks like we are almost done with the construction documents. After all the feedback we have received, now we are ready to make the final changes on our documents and have them ready for approval. We have worked really hard to have the documents complete and we [...]
More Redlines
After our last meeting Friday we thought we were going to have the construction documents ready to turn in by the end of class Monday, however, we needed a little more time. Once we fixed the redlines we received on Friday, we realized there is still work to be done before we turn them into [...]
Redlined
The definition of redlining when it comes to a document is " a process by which changes are identified between two versions of the same document for the purposes of document editing and review". There is another definition about redlining an automobile, and that is when a person drives at or above the cars maximum rpm. Both of [...]
SketchUp: Its Like a Puzzel
As the deadline for our construction documents quickly approaches for today we had to quickly make another 3D SketchUp model for the CropStop. But first let me say this- SketchUp works like a 3D puzzle. Sounds simple. Well it's not. Our most recent experience with SketchUp was kind of like when you're almost done with a [...]
Lets Go Racing!!
It seems fitting that exactly one day after the 2015 Daytona 500, the studio V group is racing against the clock to finish Crop Stop 2 construction documentation. By the end of the week, the group will have to finish up CD’s review and redline them, as well as make corrections and send them out [...]
Post Review
After our review Monday, we got a lot of positive feedback and also found plenty of things we need to put more work into. We've narrowed our materials down for the exterior, interior, and roof. We seem to be leaning in the direction of T1-11 plywood siding for the exterior, and PBR for the roof. [...]
