What is the difference between design build construction and construction using plans and specifications?

Great question.

Design-build has become synonymous with fast tracking a project. This is a false understanding of the reasoning behind design-build.

In a regular project or type of construction, there are a set of plans with all of the required engineering. This means that the total project has been conceptualized and planed, down to the fine details.

In design build project an architects concept has been drawn. Most design build projects stop here and get a permit so that the owners time tables can be met. While construction begins, engineering is continuing, and we tend to call it a design build project. All of the engineering comes latter for times sake. More of a fast track than a design build.

In a real design build project the architect's concept is there but the engineering is in question as to how the project will actually work. Most have some, if not all of the required engineering, or at least an overall concept of the engineering plan that include drawings and details. The reasoning for design build is that the engineering concepts are only that, concepts, and have not been actually proven in other than theory, or not to the scales that they are being implimented in the project. Engineering details may change with actual numbers and this is foreseen or planed.

The reason for design build is that there are expected changes or unanswered questions in the engineering that can not be fully answered until the building is to the point in construction that the engineer can make a full determination or actual measurements, loads and/or calculations.

Others may (and will) disagree, but this is my understanding of the true meaning of DESIGN-BUILD.

How do you use corded curtain tie backs?

Most corded curtain tie backs have a tassel. The cord comes pre-tied so that there are 2 loops and the tassel is in the middle. You will also need a hook on your wall to use the tiebacks. You can find inexpensive hooks at any hardware store. Place the hook on the wall at the height/location you want to curtain pulled back to. Then put one of the loops on the hook, wrap the cord arourd the curtain, and attach the other loop. Voila!

What are the advantages of Sustainable construction techniques?

Energy efficiency: The less energy you use, the more money you save. Resource Conservation: Setting your printer to the "print double-sided" default setting will save paper, requiring you to buy less of it. Healthy Indoor Environments: Because indoor air quality is often MUCH, MUCH worse than outdoor air quality due to toxins in paint, walls, furniture, clothing, etc., using low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint and plywood that is processed without formaldehyde are just two of the things to do to decrease indoor air-toxicity. Additionally, big windows that open allow fresh air and natural light into the building, increasing the productivity and happiness of workers. Studies have demonstrated that auxillary benefits such as these often entice highly skilled workers away from better paying positions that don't offer good indoor environments. Overall Sustainability: Each time you choose something that "Reduces, re-uses, or recycles" you are contributing to the overall health and longevity of our planet. It's these simple choices that lead to bigger steps, as market interest breeds industry innovation. Look for wood that comes from well-managed forests (see FSC certified wood), use material that is generated locally (this cuts down on carbon emissions from shipping costs). For more information regarding tax breaks and other incentives, look up the LEED program for new construction.

1848-1884
Construction began in 1848. The final structure was completed in 1884.

The monument was originally financed through private contributions collected by the Washington Monument Society. Due to a number of complications, the Washington Monument Society ran out of money and construction halted in 1854.

What are various design factors that influence energy saving in building construction?

I presume you mean that you want the completed building to save energy as opposed to the construction process. First and foremost is holding on to heat (or cold) that you're paying to create (you "pay" for firewood with your time, energy and the various costs associated with your chainsaw and splitting gear). Insulation and sealing inside against outside are the keys to this endeavor. Some of the most highly effective ways of pursuing these goals are "Earth Bermed/ Sod covered/ or Underground construction and the use of vestibules to prevent the wholesale loss of conditioned air when someone enters or leaves. Kind of like an "Air Lock" on a space shuttle (or an as-yet fictional Star Ship). For many folks, siting a house into a south facing slope is not practical. Other factors become more important (they're always important). There are limits to how much you should seal a house (especially in moist environments). Highly efficient appliances, though expensive, have usually paid for the cost difference somewhere from 3 to 10 times over the life of the appliance. In these days of greater energy costs, that number should be greater. Natural lighting can be a huge efficiency factor, as can be having properly calculated windows and overhangs on the East, South and West sides of your house. There are many good books on "Solarizing" your house plans. one I highly recommend (if you can find it is called "other Homes and Garbage" (a play on "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine title).
