Final Report 

The following document is a final report of three analyses and one research topic related to the construction industry and the Agricultural Engineering Building at The Pennsylvania State University. Throughout the 2016-2017 academic year, the project's construction techniques were analyzed to identify potential opportunities. Three specific analyses were chosen and goals for each were established. Detailed and specific research was performed for these analyses related to cost, schedule, and constructability. Additional a research component is analyzed as to whether an IPD delivery approach is best of the university

Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Alexander Boots. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.
