Week 3 - BACK BRIEF

Today In class we had to present our BACK BRIEF as a group. The point of this was to check each group understood what it was they were meant to be doing and what was required from them. Below is the presentation that our team gave to the class.

Through the preparation of this presentation we established our roles and objectives for this project. I have been put in charge of overseeing the modelling stage of this assignment. I also took it upon myself to start setting up an organised way to manage our files through the use of DropBox. 

In terms of communicating between each other we have set up a Facebook group so that we can remain in contact at all times. This week we also set up our Wiki page. Link to be provided. 

Once we had distinguished each of our roles I decided to get started into researching the way in which a concrete slab would be constructed in Australia according to BCA and standards. The site which the standard Revit model is on is quite similar to the site of which my house is on and with it only being constructed recently I decided to look back through photographs to see how it was done. Below are photographs of the form work and slab being constructed. 

From the use of these photos and previous knowledge I began to set up and model the framework for the concrete slab.
