Select a type of construction project that you are interested in building (this can be a residential home, commercial office building, etc). Write a detailed research paper explaining the type of project chosen, the team members involved and their specific responsibilities, the sequence of construction from the ground up, and the materials, methods, and equipment needed to complete the project.
Make the following determinations in relation to the project:
Type of foundation
Type of structural support/framing
Type of exterior cladding and roofing
For each selection made, explain what makes these the most appropriate choices for the project. Explore safety requirements and create a plan to keep workers safe throughout the project. Describe environmental considerations and provide a detailed plan to incorporate sustainable construction initiatives into the project.
Your completed paper should be 8-10 pages in length. Remember, you should utilize information provided from each week of the course thus far to complete your research paper.
Support the paper with outside research including the online course material and text. Properly cite sources using the APA format.
