The project location: Old Town Frame Company
Project Constraints
The project constraints will revolve around the schedule, cost and the scope as the limiting
factors. This project will focus more on the research, testing, and design for the site development
process rather than the actual construction phases. Both the timeline and the construction process
dictate that construction will occur after the capstone class has ended. Other constraints will be
identified as needed as the project progresses.
Project Tasks
Task 1: Due Diligence
The goal of due diligence was to locate government records which were used to determine the
project site’s existing boundaries based on data gathered during land survey. This was completed
in January 2019.
Task 2: Site Investigation
The goal of the site investigation was to gather physical data of the property for later use in the
design process. This included soil sampling for geotechnical testing, land survey for topographic
mapping and site planning, and a lot sketch for a general understanding of the property.
Task 3: Geotechnical Analysis
Task 4: Site Topo Map
The goal of creating a site topographic mapping was to process data collected during survey in a
computer-aided drafting format. This was then used to determine site elevations which were
necessary for designing the proposed site plan.
Task 5: Parking Lot Design
The proposed site plan serves as the main milestone for this project. The proposed site plan
serves as an erosion control plan, grading plan, and drainage plan combined into one document.
The erosion control aspects are also shown as details in the construction documents which were
gathered from county construction standards. The purpose of these is to define possible
mitigation methods which will be used during construction to prevent soil erosion onto other
properties and temporarily control drainage prior to completion.
Task 6: Create Construction Plans
The purpose of this task is to provide existing map for the property and topographic map of the property to be used in design the proposed parking lot, and the erosion control.
Task 7: Project Management
The purpose of this task is to establish a communication system between the team and the client to coordinate on the expectation of the client and the acomlishment of the team on the site as well as meeting the client's requirement and expectation.
