Group 4: Samantha Boone,
Kelsey Bradley
Shawn Holley
Topic: Menifee County Health Department.
Project Proposal Step One: “A brief description of the overall project and what drawings
are included in the complete set of plans:”
As a group we will understand and evaluate the various sections of Menifee County
Health Department in Frenchburg, Kentucky. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate our
group’s comprehension of technical drawings related to construction and their use in industry.
After completing this project, the group will be able to explain the concepts and attributes of the
drawings. The following drawings are included in the Menifee County Health Department plans:

Mechanical Plan

Site Layout Plan

Plumbing Plan

Grading Plan

Plumbing Risers

Erosion Control

Details


Project Proposal Step Two: “A description of the project section (drawings) to be
analyzed/interpreted by the individual student. This description must include the number
of drawing sheets and the types of information that will be analyzed/interpreted by the
student.”
As a group we will cover the structural section of the blueprints (the S section, pages S-101 to S104). The following is lists of individual pages that each group member will analyze and
interpret.
Shawn Holley will analyze and interpret pages S-101 and S-102 which are the foundation plan
and the framing plan. The foundation plan (pg S-101) will be analyzed and interpreted by
viewing the foundation coded notes, general notes, various annotations and notes to the
contractor. The framing plan (page S-102) will be analyzed and interpreted by viewing the
framing notes, framing coded notes, and the annotations used.
Samantha Boone will analyze and interpret page S-103, which is the roof framing plan sheet. On
this page the roof framing coded notes, roof framing legend notes, truss notes, truss types, and
annotations used will be examined. The annotations on this page will likely be referenced back to
the framing plan.
Kelsey Bradley will analyze and interpret page S-104, which is the structural detail sheet. On this
page the header elevation, detail-exterior wall, detail construction joint, attic access/stair detail,
truss detail, typical load bearing wall detail, and other included details will be analyzed and
interpreted on this sheet.
Project Proposal Step 3: “A brief description of the “notes” or “specifications” contained
within the student project drawings. Do not give details of the actual notes/specifications,
but rather a general description of the information provided by the notes/specifications.”
Page S-101: Notes/specifications included are: foundation coded notes and general notes.
Under the foundation coded notes there are notes about dimensions of the concrete slabs and
footings. The general notes section includes specific notes about: concrete, reinforcement steel,
foundation design, design live loads, snow design data, wind design data, earthquake design data,
and notes to the contractor.
Page S-102: Notes/specifications included on this page are: framing coded notes and
framing notes. For the framing coded notes there are details about the dimensions of the
bearings, wood studs, floor trusses, etc. Framing notes include: lumber specifications, roof
sheathing specifications, and wall sheathing specification.
Page S-103: This page includes most of the same materials as the previous page but there
is a roof framing legend and truss notes. The Truss notes include the lumber specifications, chord
specifications for the loads and other details.
Page S-104: This page has all the detail views and dimensions for the walls, trusses, and
exterior walls.

performed….”


File Room: { [ (24*12) + 0.5 ] * [(13*12) + 6.5] 12 } = 562575 in3  562575 in3 =
325.56 ft3  325.56 ft3 = 12.06 yd3  12.06 * $150 = $1809
Overall foundation: { [ (78*12) * (78*12) ] + [(6*12) * (4*12)+10]*3 + { [(6*12)+3] *
[(14*12)+2] } 4 = [876096 + 12528 + 12750] * 4 = 3605496 in3  3605496 in3 = 2086.514 ft3 =
77.28 yd3  $11,592
Columns: 8 columns * (16 * 16) = 2048 in2. 2048in2 * 4in thick = 8192 in3. 8192 in3 =

Total = $13,427.40
Framing Plan (prices listed below were found through Lowes.com)
Coded note 6: Wood studs: (4) 2X6 WOOD STUDS NAILED @ 12” O.C STAGGERED.
BOTH SIDES, ½ DIA THRU BOLTS TO BE INSTALLED 12” FROM EACH END. Approx.
$6 a piece. = $24
Coded note 7/9: Bearing stud : (6) 2X12 W/2 BEARING STUD AND 3 FULL HEIGHT
STUD EACH END. Approx. $17 a piece = $102
Coded note 8: Bearing stud. (3) 2X10 W/2 BEARING STUD AND 2 FULL HEIGHT STUD
EACH END. Approx. $15 a piece = $45
Coded note 10: Bearing stud. (2) 2X8 W/1 BEARING STUD AND 2 FULL HEIGHT
STUD EACH END. Approx. $9 a piece = $18
For material we found prices of the total would be: $186
