PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this project is to
design a covered patio that the owner/client will have access to from his home
through the entire year. The covered patio will be an extension off of an
existing home with an existing concrete patio at the rear of the
residence. With the current situation,
snow accumulates along the back sliding glass door and over the existing patio,
making it virtually useless through the winter months of the year. With a
covered patio, the snow accumulation will be minimized and will provide an
accessible area even in the winter.
The Design team will
prepare the Covered Patio Structural Design including all plan sheets and
calculations. The structural plans, prepared on CAD, will include a site plan with
index, a foundation plan with foundation cross section details, a typical cross
section, a framing plan with framing cross section details, a roof/truss layout
plan, all architectural treatments, and an elevations plan.
SCOPE OF
SERVICES
The following Scope of Services is provided to describe the proposed
work and associated deliverables necessary to accomplish the project goals.
Task 1: Project Management
The Project Management task
summarizes the different means of collaboration and updating between the design
team, client, and technical advisor throughout the progression of the project.
Task 2: Data Collection
The
Data Collection Task outlines how the Design Team will acquire information on
the existing structure,
evaluate city building codes and regulations, and research
materials and design
loads.
Task 3: Engineering Design
Task
three is for the Design Team to create several preliminary designs for the
covered patio in order for the client to make the final decision on.
Task 4: Plans, Specifications, and Cost Estimate
Task
four allows the Design Team to create and provide a set of Plans,
Specification, and a Cost Estimate based on the client’s final decision.
The design team
plans to provide a structurally sound covered patio which incorporates the
clients design ideas; a covered patio that meets all building code
requirements; a design that will meet the cost expectations of the client; a
product that is aesthetically pleasing; and a structure that is completed
within the time line expected. The design will include as many of the clients
ideas as possible but structural integrity will take precedence.
