Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It's January 2.

The whole world is in a festive New Year's mood, isn't it?

There are only 363 days left in 2018!

Before I knew it, I thought, "Huh? It's already April?"

Huh? It's already September!!

Huh? It's already December!!?

Doesn't it end like that every year?

Let's decide today what we want to accomplish this year that will leave a lasting mark on our lives.

A few years later, in 2018, that thing started, and now look where we are—life sure is interesting, isn't it?

There's something interesting in this article, so please give it a read.

The Secrets to Living a Fulfilling Life

But that's beside the point.

 

Here are some important things to keep in mind before starting construction (Part 2).

Last timeIt was a drawing.

This time, it's about design.

Just hearing the word “design” is enough to throw people off. I think a lot of people feel like, “I don’t get it.”

However, as long as you are a specialist in the field, you need to have a basic understanding of the design of the specialized components.

I'm sure you've heard the term "design review" quite often.

Definition of "verification": The act of checking by comparing.

This involves cross-checking the design documents (such as structural analysis reports and stability analysis reports).

What should you compare it to? The design drawings and design documents (such as quantities and special notes).

First, do the drawings and the bill of quantities match? (Last time)

Do the drawings and design calculations match? (This time)

You might wonder, “Is there a mistake in the calculation?” but these days, pretty much everyone uses the same software for their calculations.

You're unlikely to make a mistake.

However, if there's one thing to watch out for here, it'sDesign SpecificationsThat's right. (Assuming the software is the same.)

The condition... hmmmmmm?????! Why on earth would they put this condition here??

I often find myself thinking that. However, since this has been approved by the government, I have very few objections to it as it stands.

You're just ignoring it, aren't you?

However, if this is simply unacceptable (for example, if it differs too much from on-site conditions and is therefore a design flaw), then make changes,

Alternatively, the design would be sent back for revision, but we almost never do that.

This is because once a design project has been completed, neither the government agency itself will send it back for revision nor will the consulting firm approve it.

So, we redesign it in-house to make it work for us. (A written agreement with the government agency is absolutely necessary.)

However, a "convenient" design is one that aligns with on-site conditions, is cost-effective, and is profitable for our company.

If it changes too much from the original design, people will be like, “What was the original design anyway?” so that’s a bit of a problem, lol.

When it comes to design calculations, the barrier to entry is high unless you have some experience with design.

There's also the issue of software (whether or not you own it), so,

If you are unable to do so, please consult with the company that holds the shares.

By the way, at our house,Go-Da Development Co., Ltd.I have installed the software.

By conducting a final design review before beginning on-site work, we can minimize any problems that might arise later.

This is a very important matter, so please make sure to check it thoroughly.

Before construction begins, be sure to borrow the design calculations from the local government office.

 

See you later.
