One of the critical aspects of project planning and execution is communication. The construction of any structure, including metal buildings in Boston, MA, requires the coordination and collaboration of several teams of professionals.
Although it seems like metal buildings would not require as much engineering as their concrete and steel counterparts, they do require the same level of consideration for integrity and longevity. The building owner, architect, and construction company must all be on the same page for the project to proceed without complications.
The journey to develop a successfully engineered building follows five detailed steps:
Basic Parameters
The project details need to be fully described so structural engineers can address them. The parameters include building dimensions, clearances, wind loads, site restrictions, and the size and number of windows and doors.
Scheduling
The plan is then assessed, and a timeline established using inherent factors like the size, shape, and complexity of the building.
Design
Engineers will render the blueprints and account for wind load, seismic conditions, safety factors, and code provisions.
Details
Structural engineers will then prepare the data and corresponding erection drawings to identify assembly requirements.
Fabrication
The process then moves to fabrication, delivery, construction, and ultimately new metal buildings in the landscape.
