In collaboration with the Interior designing students of Syracuse University, developed a cost - effective Schedule and estimate for the construction of a Refugee house project taken up by Interfaith works, a non-profit organization.
1025 Park Street in Syracuse is the transitional refugee housing that was selected. As construction management students, we looked into the elements in the existing house and analyzed the drawing provided by the Syracuse University interior design student. The cost and schedule were developed considering the sustainability of the construction and implementing value engineering. The total budget estimated for construction including Demolition, Re-build, Appliances and Finishes is $48,905. The schedule that corresponds with this estimate starts September 4th, 2018 and ends December 11th, 2018, meaning it would have a duration of 15 weeks.

Inspiration/Mood Images Existing Property
Need Outside Labor:
o Removing bearing walls and inserting columns
o Raising garage roof
o Roofing
o ADA ramp
Sustainability:
o High- Efficient Appliances: Energy Star rated refrigerator, cooking range, washer/
dryer and microwave
o Water sense fixtures for water efficiency
o Local Materials: Lumber
o Local Labor: Student volunteers and future inhabitants
o LED Lighting throughout is more energy efficient and reduces long term energy
costs.
o Increased insulation to lower costs of energy consumption
o New windows to lower cost of energy consumption
o Saving and recycling materials throughout demolition process
Value Engineering:
The cost of labor can be reduced by 70% by using students and volunteers for the
construction. Electrician and plumbers among the family and friends can contribute and
work on the building for lower prices. Low priced, basic appliances can be obtained from
local Habitat restore and local vendors. The appliances and fixtures used in the project are
essential for living and not optional.
o Student Labor – Students at SUNY ESF will get hands-on experience with
construction as a part of the course curriculum and will provide labor for the
construction process through the duration of a semester.
o Sweat Hour Labor – People who are going to live in the house must put work
hours into the revamping of the house
o Habitat for Humanity to volunteer people for labor
o Appliances from local Habitat restore and local vendors
Plumbing, Hardware and lumber stores: http://shop.bigreuse.org/kitchen-bath/
Tools and Equipment: https://www.govdeals.com/
o Electricians and plumbers we know – Lower prices, Family & Friends
o Refurbishing floors instead of installing all new hardwood floors.
o Not installing top of the line materials and appliances – installing basic necessities
o No dishwasher necessary
1025 Park Street in Syracuse is the transitional refugee housing that was selected. As construction management students, we looked into the elements in the
existing house and analyzed the drawing provided by the Syracuse University interior design student. The cost and schedule were developed considering the
sustainability of the construction and implementing value engineering. The total budget estimated for construction including Demoltion, Re-build, Appliances and
Finishes is $48,905. The schedule that corresponds with this estimate starts September 4th, 2018 and ends December 11th, 2018, meaning it would have a
duration of 15 weeks. There are four elements of the construction process that cannot be done by students and unqualified participants making a need for outside
labor. Below are the elements that need outside labor, the elements to make the project more sustainable and the elements that we chose for value engineering.
