Presentation of a Construction
Project
Assignment 3
Unit 21

First Stage of the Construction
Building
• The first step was to design a drawing of the
building to give the client an idea of what he
wanted.
First Stage of the Construction
Building
• The client decides on what he wants.
First stage of the construction
Building
• Before the building was even started there
was a Gant chart make to know what was
going to happen, when it was going to happen
and how long it should take.
Designing the Building
• After the design on the building was chosen I
designed a mini version of the timber frame.
Designing the Building
• Before the brick walls started the timber
frame flooring was put into place.
Designing the Building
• After the mini model of the timber frame was
done the work on the foundations had already
been done so work on the brick and block
walls was started.
Designing the Building
• The work on the building was set back down
to the bad weather, it was set back by a few
weeks.
Designing the Building
• As the brick walls had been held back the
timber frame walls were being put together.
Designing the Building
• After the timber frame walls were built the
work on the window frames and door frames
started.
Designing the Building
• The Gant chart had to be changed as the bad
weather set the building back by a few weeks,
as you can see in the photo below.
Designing the Building
• As you can see the brick walls had been kicked
down by someone coming onto the site, so
the brick and block building was set back even
more.
Designing the Building
• Here are the students putting the plywood on
the timber floor.
Designing the Building
• The timber framed walls were put up and as
you can see we ran into a little problem that
was easily solved.
Designing the Building
• The first timber roof trust was built and the
only thing that needed changing was the
length of the overhang.
Designing the Building
• The plywood was put onto the timber walls
and the roof trusts were constructed with
more overhang.
Designing the Building
• The work on the brick and block building was
started again and the block work was started
on the timber and block building.
Designing the Building
• The rest of the roof trusts were put in place
and then the ply wood was put in place.
Designing the Building
• The work on the tiling being done and the rest
of the brick and block building is being done at
the same time.
Summary
• Timber frame construction was erected
quicker than traditional building
• Adverse weather had little impact on timber
frame construction
• Quality issues with some of the timber walls
and roof construction – to improve inspection
