The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Construction as such, and especially the execution of construction works itself, is often an underestimated business. The logical solution is the use of external shading, but this can also be achieved by using reflective glass, where we also identify advantages and disadvantages. Finally, within the framework of the overarching theme, we consider the use of artificial intelligence and chatbots to assist in preparing quotations for the execution of works, the obstacles, advantages and challenges it brings, and the importance that its use will represent in the future.
Solution and Method
Construction as such, and especially the execution of construction works itself, is often an underestimated business. Almost everyone would like to be their own master, or has a parent, grandfather, neighbour who is, and thus 'knows' and 'can' carry out works with quality, and above all, how much it costs and how long it takes. This fact is not helped by the workforce, which is too often uneducated and without experience.
Of course, we can say that the system is to blame, but if more attention were paid to education, the service would consequently also be more expensive, which would not suit investors either. Therefore, if we want to be successful, sufficient knowledge and proper thinking are required, which is well described by the saying: 'Any fool can build a bridge that stands, but only an engineer can build a bridge that barely stands.' With such an approach, we tackle the entire project and all the factors that affect execution and successful handover. Such a mentality leads us to seek optimal solutions, in terms of quality, complexity of execution and speed, to ensure as efficiently as possible that the project is also financially successful.
This must be the basic guideline, as only in this way can we successfully operate in the open market, which is constantly changing. In this way, we can also allocate surplus funds to development, new ideas, modern equipment, personnel. In the construction of Hotel X, they particularly focused on what the minimum requirements of the investor are that must be ensured, and what was designed by the designer.
Thus, in the first part of the diploma thesis, they focused on the assertion that by changing the use of a standard dry-wall partition, we can save on execution time and costs, whilst remaining within the legally permitted limit values required for such a project. In the second part, following the same principle, they examined different types of thermal insulation panels with which we can insulate the ceiling against unheated spaces. They had to consider several factors, such as thermal conductivity, sound conductivity, fire protection, and also the final appearance or required treatment after installation of the panels.
In the third part of this diploma thesis, we determine possible ways of protecting hotel rooms against overheating.
Results
The logical solution is the use of external shading, but this can also be achieved by using reflective glass, where we also identify advantages and disadvantages. Finally, within the framework of the overarching theme, we consider the use of artificial intelligence and chatbots to assist in preparing quotations for the execution of works, the obstacles, advantages and challenges it brings, and the importance that its use will represent in the future.
