Also, the villa design included parking spaces, gardens, pavements, landscape
views, stair cases, and security rooms.
CE2.4 I performed the following tasks to carry out my project responsibilities.
 Reviewing and assessing engineering design documents as well as the
construction designs and correlated code such as IS 1893-2002, IS 456: 2000,
IS 13920 (1993), IS 800: 2007, IS: 1200 (Part- III)- 1976, IS: 2212-1991.
 Proposing pertinent and viable alterations to the designs organized by the
designers and architects.
 Procurement the vital approvals like facts of propose creation, proof of
privilege, copy of plot and authorizations from the local municipality body by
confirming to have the support papers ready

 Confirming the security rules, controls and forms that required to be taken
after amid the development exercises on the work location
 Studying the development stipulations as concurred to legalize the steel works,
framework and concrete mix.
 Evaluating the raw materials conventional by the merchants to inspect the
substantial strength and excellence such as yield strength tests for steel, water
permeability tests for concrete, sieve analysis tests for aggregates,
comprehensive strength to attractive conclusions on the usability of the
resources for structures
 Making significant plan reports of reinforcement, bricks, wood, concrete roads,
cement, plumbing, tilling, and papers to be field for the reference of the venture
administration
 Employed with cross-functional crews to safeguard the opportune conveyance

Personal Engineering Activity:
CE2.6 To exertion on the engineering errands in the venture, I guaranteed to get
ready myself to be competent sufficient and reskill myself. I tacit the mission
purposes in detail and deliberate by the engineering methods and procedures
required to attain the goals established by the venture management. I joined to
numerous preparing courses on STAAD.Pro, AutoCAD and ETABS to ponder
almost computer program to be utilized amid the venture. I too alluded to many
magazines and journals such as International journal of Advanced Structural
Engineering (IJASE), Journal of material science, International Journal of civil
engineering and Technology, publication of concrete Exploration which are
associated to structural engineering to arise the essential information.
CE2.7 I worked thoroughly with my administrator to decide the extend conveyance plan. I
arranged the diagram of the plan and conversed with the investors to look for
response and inputs. I ensured to allocate tasks to the project resource team
considering their area of interest and expertise in the areas. Post consolidating the

concurred timelines.
CE2.8 I worked with the local municipality administrators to discover the utmost actual
codes and stipulations utilized in the venture. I escorted the government authorities
who were on location visit and clarified them the scheme plans and designs.
utilizing national codes and determinations is concerned, I implemented the
National Building Code of India (NBC) to the construction activities. The mentioned
code is an inclusive building code that offers national guidelines to regulate the
building construction activities in India and we required to follow to the codes as
said within the National Building Code of India (NBC). I studied total episodes of
apposite codes to form beyond any doubt that the project activities are followed to
the codes.
CE2.9 Earlier to the start of the engineering task in the venture, I gotten all the
engineering drawings, designs, project plans and the correlated in progress. I
carried out an exhaustive evaluation on the received development plans and
architectural drawings. I approved the plans in contradiction of the concurred codes
and guidelines as well as the plan standards established by the client, I carried out
my valuation by calculating the several loads and affirmed that the plans projected
by the architects are well and sustenance the actual erection. I planned an actual
load resistance design for walls and column. I similarly checked in case the design
would be able to resist the apparatus and lift loads.
CE2.10 I used ETABS to define the various loads as required to design the building. I
assigned loads for external walls and internal walls after defining the loads. Then I
assigned live loads for the entire structure including floor finishing. I followed the
standard IS 875 1987 PART 5 for load combinations. I followed the standard IS
