Include a site installation plan, principal section, additional detailed drawings, a technical study, a comparative study and schedule, using MS Project. In order to monitor the progress of the works, several visits were made to the building site. After studying the way buildings are made in Belgium, a comparative with the Spanish method is done. This is the main reason why I chose to do my final project abroad, so I could learn different ways of construction and maybe some new techniques. Key words: comparative study, detailed drawing, principal section, schedule, site installation. Bachelor Final Project.

Introduction The following project is about the construction of an administrative building in Kluizen, Belgium. The building site has no adjacent buildings, so there is as much room as needed for the equipment. Also the tower crane can be placed outside the building and they only need to consider the height of the own building when transferring materials. Vehicles can enter the building site and place the materials on the stockage area, near the entry and the tower crane. The water table had to be lowed and stay at -5.55 m. The construction itself consists on a basement, ground floor and first floor with impassable roofs (see plan 2). Foundations are made by piles in the whole building. Wall foundations with beams, both made of in situ concrete, are used in the basement. The rest of the building is supported by in situ concrete beams. Stairs consist of 6 parts of prefabricated steps, going around the elevator, which is covered by concrete blocks walls. Floors are made by prefabricated slabs 15x120cm with a layer of in situ concrete and electrowelded mesh 150x150mm on top. All concrete used is C30/37 GB EE3 S3, both in situ and prefabricated. The steel used for the reinforcement is BE500S, while the electrowelded mesh type is BE500SD. Bachelor Final Project.

On the roofs of the first floor the slope is created by aerated concrete. All ledges are made by cellular concrete YTONG coated of insulation. The façade is composed of brickwork of thermoblock 29cm, insulation, an air cavity and another brickwork on the outside. This building is meant to demand as no energy as possible so thick insulation (15-25 cm of cellular glass UTHERMWALL R 5.2) is used all over, as well as insulating materials, such as cellular concrete or thermoblock. That is why well insulated joinery is also used. However, there is heating in the floors, in case it is needed. Ceilings are composed by suspended ceiling with 5cm of acoustic insulation. Walls are finished with plasterwork. Bachelor Final Project.

Site instalation plan Location of the construction crane on site, radius, lifting capacity and lift capacity at max. radius. The construction has no adjacent buildings, so the only restriction for the tower crane is the building itself. Location for temporary storage of material and consumer goods. Location of site offices and building supervisor’s offices. Location of temporary site access roads and their construction. Location of available utilities. HSE measures. See plan 1 Bachelor Final Project.

Principal section Broken longitudinal section of the building of study, to scale 1:50. Plans of ground floor and first floor indicate where the section comes from. On the section are also indicated the additional detailed drawings. These are the main elements shown on the section:  Pile foundations.  Basement of in situ concrete beams and walls.  Prefabricated stairs.  Floors of prefabricated slabs with electrowelded mesh and a layer of concrete on top.  Walls of concrete blocks, prefabricated concrete or thermoblock bricks. View leyend.  Façade covered by 2 x 10 cm of insulation, 4 c of air cavity and ceramic bricks on the outside. See plan 2 Bachelor Final Project.
