Choose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not do both
assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.
Option #1: Construction Critique (Your Construction Firm)
You will be working on the same project throughout the term. Your final Portfolio Project
will be a compilation of your Portfolio assignments throughout the term.
Assume you are the president of a construction general contractor and you intend to
promote your company and attract clients. You intend to prepare a marketing and
prequalification package that, at a minimum, contains the following:
a. A one-page introductory letter on professionally developed letterhead that you
have designed for your company. The letter properly introduces your firm,
provides adequate contact information, identifies your company's areas of
expertise, summarizes its past experience in performing as a general
contractor, and provides other relevant and necessary information to describe
why owner firms/clients should hire your firm for their construction projects.
The letter is meant to function as a prequalification statement written in
narrative form that describes why you believe your firm is a qualified general
contractor.
b. A list of at least five potential qualifying questions that you would like to receive
from owner firms/prospective clients. This list is not intended to be
comprehensive (all-inclusive) but it is meant to be a complete list (i.e., properly
satisfying the objectives) that demonstrates the merits of your company in a
reasonable and appropriate manner. By properly responding to these
questions, prepare a two-page document that provides insight into your firm.
Out of these five questions, a minimum of three questions should not be
covered by the content of the introductory letter referenced above.
Option #2 - Residential Project (Revit Architecture)
Create a sample Revit model for a one-story building, consisting of a minimum of three
rooms and a living area, and upload the native Revit Architecture file to the assignment
area in class. At this stage, adding exterior walls, levels, grids, and columns is
