I am a service person who went into a commercial building to make a repair, while I was there I noticed signs of a major construction flaw that could potentially cause harm or even death to those people who work in the building. Should I make a big deal about this and file a formal complaint with the state and potentially cause the loss of jobs for the engineer who designed the building and the inspector who approved the plans or should I just fix the problem and let it go. The building is only 3 years old and anyone with any sort of education in the field should have noticed the problem before the building was erected.

i am about to do an experiment on shapes and how their surface area relates to the amount of heat loss. I am wondering if a sphere is the ideal shape because of it has minimal surface area while having the greatest volume. The goal of my assignment is to design and build a prototype (can be a model) of an aspect for water heating in a solar home(meaning it has to be energy efficient). This design has to be innovative which is why i chose a sphere (since it SHOULD reduce heat loss compared to commercial cylinders). Any feedback would be great thanks!

My wife is having trouble getting hired into a good position with a drafting firm in Fort Worth. She didn’t even get a bite while in San Antonio. I’ve suggested she visit an employment agent of some sort, but is there some sort of certification which would help convince local firms she knows what she’s doing?. She has an old associates degree, but she has 8 years of recent experience in contract drafting with a construction firm specializing in metal building construction for industrial, commercial, and even residential designs including estimation.

I need a rough size estimate for the boiler room in a project I’m designing. It’s a mountain resort building, mixed use, multi-family, 4 stories, 180K finished. I’m in SD and need to rough in the boiler room.
Thanks for the responses, that’s enough to get me going, just what I was looking for. Regarding the last comment, about the choice of system, unfortunately it’s not our decision to make, and the owner has an engineer who is ready to implement a proprietary individual metering device for billing.

Both the towers were designed to withstand multiple hits from commercial 757’s…so why did WTC building 7 that wasn’t even close to these two buildings blow up into a fine pile of dust?
Not even the FBI or Official Story could come up with a logical explanation to why Building 7 imploded in on itself.
What’s up?

I’m confused on which would best suit me, if you can help me out i would appreciate it. Here a quick list of what im looking for.
I want to.
Build commercial buildings, sky rise buildings, bridges and so forth
Im interested in the actual design of the building I.E what makes it stand, what supports it?
I want to sit down and draw out how the building will look then travel to the field and check on my creation on each step it takes.
Im not artistically inclined but i love sketching even though it looks like poop.
I want to be an important part of the building process i dont just want to draw things thats not me.
i dont want to be someone who makes sure the structure is safe and never does anything else.
i also want to decide what material are actually used in the building process.
any ideas which of the 2 best suits me?

Hi, I’m a second year graphic design student. In July I’ll have a month break so I’m thinking of finding a job. It must be related to graphic design, cos I want to gain some work experience, I don’t care if it is paid work or non paid work. I already have a target, it is a graphic design company located just upstair in at my college. (My college is located in a commercial building in a very ‘high class’ suburb) And I think this is why I want to work there so much even if they won’t paid me.
I had a look of the company website, (and it looks crap seriously) I only find one email address, so if I want to ask them if I can work there for maybe once or two days a week for some experience, do you think I should email my resume to that address? Or should I ask before sending the resume?
I’m not confidence because I firstly have no pervious work experience and secondly english is my weakness…

I have money wagered on this contest, so it is important I get the best design.
RULES:
I can use any kind of commercial brand pasta
The bridge must be made solely of pasta and glue.
Winner is the legal bridge with the highest official load divided by bridge weight (most efficient).
I guess I didn’t make this clear. I too had a balsa wood competition in 8th grade and came in first place (what school did you go to? do i know you?).
Anyways, I want the diagrams of the exact design.

i m planning to create a website whereby estate agents and individuals will list properties they are selling for something like $5 per month per property listed and maybe discount if the properties to be listed are many. as soon as they transfer the funds into my account then they will be able to post the property. the most important thing about this website is that i have made “search” important
especially advanced search so that the masses who will find it easy to look for the exact property. and contact the person who listed. basically i m just going to be an advertiser.
question is does something like http://www.yola.com/ do it or i have to build it own my own. i have little C experience and MS access. can i copy other website something like cut and paste and change a bit. i have no web designing/developemenet experience whatsoever
