Project Objectives Determine if the lots of N. 12 th and Kimmel are “buildable” If so, create 3 bedroom house plans considering –Building Codes & Zoning Ordinances –Budget of $36,000/house –Energy Efficiency Practices
Materials Considerations Compiled list of Materials for cost estimation Noted sizes of standard materials to make homes more builder-friendly
Energy Efficiency Orientation of main living spaces Windows –~100 ft² S –~40 ft² E & N –~20 ft² W 2” x 6” exterior walls increase outside wall width More exterior wall length on south face
Survey & CAD Taping for rough estimate Surveying for accurate perimeter dimensions Elevation points were taken to create a topographic map for excavation and drainage Utilizing AutoCAD 2007 & EaglePoint

Road Blocks Problems w/ professional contacts have made it necessary to make certain assumptions Most work is pending approval before more work can be done Habitat does not know accurate lot boundaries
Work to Be Completed by DR Have designs for Kimmel lot approved by RDS & Doug Have Menard’s do full electrical & plumbing layout Create topographic maps for both lots CAD sketches & rendering of at least 1 home design
