HUNTING CAMP FACILITY BY: Ryan Fremin ET 494 Senior Design II Construction Engineering Technology Professor: Dr. Koutsougeras Advisor : Mr. Rode

PURPOSE  Perform complete theoretical construction process of hunting camp facility  Research Needed  Location Selection  Giving Structure Options  Rough Drawing and Estimates  Design Selection  Complete drawings, schedule, and estimate

WHY HUNTING  In 2011 there was a total of 13.7 million hunters in the United States  23 % of all wild-life recreation is found in hunting  (US Census Bureau)  $564,385,000 Was spent in 2011 for trip–related hunting in Louisiana  $315,763,000 Was spent in 2011 for trip-related hunting in Mississippi  Louisiana-16 %  Mississippi- 36 %

RESEARCH  The given statistics show that this can be a lucrative business.  Current pricing for pay hunts  Lodging $1000-$2000  Hunting-----Min------$ 4,000 (8-Point)  Mississippi is in the top 15 places that hunters like to hunt  Shows profitability and demand

DESIGN OPTIONS  LOG CABIN  Will give the owner and customers a more luxurious feel with all of the necessities.  Less cost effective  PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING  Will give the owner and customers all of the necessities with the option of adding luxuries after design and pricing is completed.  Cost Effective (Key for this build)

LOG CABIN Example ( Gile’s Island)  Nice facility to conduct business  Most need separate buildings for lodging (Total sq.ft.)  Lodging takes up possible land and reduces amount of huntable property  Popular but expensive to construct

PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING Example ( Converted Metal Building)  Cost effective  Fast Construction  Combines facilities into one location  Gives added space for possible upgrades  40’x80’( total – 7200 sq.ft.)

ROUGH DRAWING – LOG CABIN

ROUGH DRAWING – METAL BUILDING

DESIGN DECISION  Pre-Engineered Metal Building $456,264  Log Cabin $507,400  Difference $ 51,136 or 10% cheaper

DETAILED DRAWINGS  The detailed drawings will be done from the last week of the semester into the break. They will be continued while doing a material takeoff at the same time.  This will allow sufficient time to complete drawings and estimate.
