Objectives

Project 'Situation Engine' is a visual expose, informative and communication tool that will enable clients, industry and trade professionals a perspective view in analysing stages of construction in a real time environment using CryEngine3.

To showcase the possibilities of the software, the team decided to model two buildings with different construction types, methods and stages. It could be used as a communication tool for clients/ trade professionals for comparing building materials, structure and type. This detailed simulation gives the audience a clear and precise understanding of construction elements, stages, techniques and materials used on site.

Contribution

My role within the group was to focus on construction methods, members, stages and all issues involved with a construction site in sydney. I coordinated with the guys modelling and calculated construction members as well as 
complying with standards. I calculated construction elements, spans and techniques and researched construction stages and the guys divided up the two models into groups according to their construction phases. I also had access to a few builders in the eastern suburbs and they clarified issues and gave relevant feedback.
As well as assuming this project was a 'real life project', this made the assignment more challenging but more rewarding. Whilst considering the site factors including location and geographical issues as well as legislation including local council, Waverley Council and their planning instruments including the Local Environment Plan and Development Control Plans. Which I have also learnt to analyse and interpret appropriate information needed to plan and design a building.
- construction, codes, presentation organisation and layout, helping with exporting towards the end of the project, meeting minutes & organising under our project leader Nikko etc.


Individual milestone

My major milestone for this assignment included gaining knowledge about and within the construction industry, learning on-site information as well as being able to interpret and gain knowledge using the Building Code and the Australian Standards. This project was one of the most relevant assignments i have found. 
-construction, Australian standards & National Construction code


Feedback

Our team has a varied, highly proficient skillset and each member is assigned a different role within the group.  We have a clear understanding of what we contributed to the group in order to achieve our goals of the project as well as our individual major milestones. Group Work is hard to coordinate with everyone and meet our deadlines but overall I think the team worked well and created a great perspective view into the construction industry using CryEngine3.
