hey all welcome back to the channel as always my name is Dave today happens to
be an absolutely beautiful day down here in Dallas Texas
and I've got to go visit a project of mine so I figured why not do an
architecture themed vlog video and show you guys the day in the life of an
architect first stop is gonna be a know a seam eating in the owner architect
contractor meeting and a project of mine in Denton Texas that project is a big
big multifamily project it's gonna be student housing right across the street
from a University up there and right now it is coming out of the ground
we've got concrete done they're doing podium levels and it's what's called a
rap project or Texas donut basically a parking garage in the middle and then
wrapping around that is all the apartment units so right now with that
project we got a lot going on there's concrete work going foundations getting
laid there's precast concrete structures
getting put up but first part is the meeting and then we're gonna be touring
the site and we're gonna bring you guys along for that follow that up we're
gonna back down to the office cuz I've got a lot of paperwork and detailed
drawings that we need to do for this project so the whole goal of today's
video is to bring you guys along during a day in the life of an architect I
really hope you guys enjoy it if you do hit subscribe hit that Bell notification
and drop us a thumbs up we appreciate that but you know what we got to get on
the road so let's get after it
this new crazy mother
alright so we just got to the jobsite and I'm not gonna be able to bring you
guys into the meeting with us but I just want you guys take a look at what's
going on here and flip you around that is all the progress right now they're
working on pouring concrete and getting the podium levels up so hopefully we'll
be able to take you for a tour as well stay tuned
yeah you didn't see like the speed I mean when I got here they were putting
in that stair section so it's Legos now it's just like so that's all precast
that's not so all right talk it's all free time let's look at this guy
read it to me
so all the penetrates
and how it all - only works with assistants
they went to town on that we did a pretty good job of salty
right here I'm forgetting how the detail goes but I think
memory serves
they see two ways of doing this one is you've got the plate sitting above this
slab and you the nuts on tighten it right yeah it's not really ideal because
it doesn't work well with your framing right here because the the HSS that gets
welded to it has to sit exactly within the frame right
so the better way is the embed so you've got a clean plate light with no
protrusions above it and he just well the HSS and it lines up with the frame
wall
this is a train came in this way first
no three caps
back you get a sense also for like what's in
our scope like passing plays that we need a court name to meet a tabletop for
the precast Rio that's what all this is
right there okay so you see like an example of a coordination where would
have to do a free pass and with JNC like we're sizing the openings for the fans
and then you can see the horrible with the TT so to sit on but Jeff had to
design that like that wasn't living complete fast right so it's not like
this or from that point up is that gonna be
precast yeah so so yeah okay that's obvious entertaining applause so this
thing moves so fast
it's about
staircase so me
yeah yeah
you're here
oh yeah
see
I didn't see any again I can give that to Nepal
yeah not
keep it straight back be honest I'll see it alright guys that was a site visit
hope you enjoyed it we're gonna head back to the office now
okay so we're back in the office right now
and we're reviewing a stack of water proofing details so basically we have a
third party consultant they review our drawing set to make sure that our
building is gonna be watertight and we want to make sure it's as watertight as
possible and so they came back with a bunch of recommendations it's gonna take
me a couple of days to get started through all this but what I'm doing now
is going throw those paperwork and applying it into our drawing set
Superfund no one ever said the life of an architect was super glamorous it's a
lot of people work and hanging out in the office
okay and there you go that's it for today we're gonna take off it's been a
long day I've got some other stuff to do tonight
