If you want to make a well-structured building, you have to need a well-planned Structural Engineering. Likewise, the Home structure takes sufficient support from Structural Engineering that design the Custom House.
Each of the aspects is imperative whether its architecture, designing, engineering and general tendering purpose. But, as surprising as it sounds, Structural Engineering has a great impact on quality and permanence of your house. Before commencing the whole process, understanding the goals and objectives as per the building functionality, schedule, size, aesthetics, and budget.
Role of Structural Engineering
• Conceptualization and Sketching: At the initial phase, concept and sketch are developed. The pre-design drawing and conceptualization supports in structural framing, constructability, and dimensions.
• Pre-Design Phase: This phase is popularly known as “schematic design phase” which focuses on building design, issues related to the site, planning and current prevailing one. By identifying the issues before actual construction leads to smooth delivery which majorly involves construction document and design development.
• Designing Phase: The vision of designing is mostly responsible for Architecture, but structural engineering is needed for the foundation, framing, and roofing. The design development from the perspective of structural engineering is to maintain the structural integrity and efficiency. In this stage, structural elements are finalized with other disciplines.
• Site Inspections: Site inspection is the pre-construction process which involves the thorough site look-over the check before the construction if some final adjustment needed or not.
• Structural Safety: The goal is to make a home that withstands worst of weather such as seismic activity, heavy rain, extreme heat, snow, and wind. As per the inspection, structural Engineer offers the roof slopping, materials, and overall orientation of the home.
• Materials: The assistant of Structural helps to pick the a right material for right component in a home. It is essential for the suitability of beams, posts, foundation and various other building supports.
• Construction Documents: It entails the permit-ready drawings which display the 75% accomplishment of the total project. The final technical specification takes place in this phase, based on which, customized will be made.
• Adherence to Code: Each of the tasks has to adhere to appropriate building codes. A proper planning is made before the commencement of work. The plan submission and obtaining permission before, during, and after the work.
• Construction Administrations: This is the final stage that where the final custom drawings are made. A persistent work is required before the choosing of right contractor who further executes the project.
A Custom Home Design comes out in perfect form with the support of Structural Engineering, not just a random drawing. Though the quality, durability, timeliness, and costing is the result of the whole team, a solid foundation requires efficiently planned Structural Engineering.
