Product Prospectus

For my senior project I selected to do a CAD drawing of a large storage shed. On top of

that I will also create a list for the materials needed to complete the design I'm going to create.

After I create all of this, then I will move on to creating a bid for the product, with pricing for

how much it will cost for the building and the price of labor to build the storage shed as well.

You’ll see these things implicated in the real world when it comes to construction companies

getting the bid for buildings that need to be built for people. So in all, I will create a CAD

drawing of the building that needs to be built then calculate the prices of the labor and materials

for the building.

To complete this process I will need to first use a free CAD software online to create the

building and all of its dimensions so that I can figure out how much materials I need to build this

building. To complete this CAD of the building It should be rather simple as a large storage shed

isn’t as difficult as a house with more walls and rooms and such. I hope to have the CAD done in

the next two weeks so that I can start getting into the more complicated process for me which is

figuring out the materials I will need. I hope that after I have completed the CAD that I quickly

begin to start figuring out the materials needed to build this building so that I can have a list of

things down to start getting prices for. There are a lot of materials that go into building these

buildings so it will be challenging to figure out everything I need quickly so I just need to make

sure I stay engaged with this task and I can hopefully have this completed by the end of

February.

After I complete the list of all materials needed, I will then have to go downtown to our

local lumberyard to seek help with calculating the prices for my building. I feel like this should

work out perfectly because I can go there during my classes that I can use my senior privileges

in. I hope to have calculated the prices of materials and labor for this building by the first week

of march so that I can create the bid for the building with everything listed. I hope the bid

creation process goes smoothly and I may have to seek help from the lumberyard workers in

making this as well. Since this will be the final part of my project I just hope that I have it done

within a week of the due date so that I can have the product done and ready for any quick

modifications if needed.

I think I will definitely enjoy creating the bid the most, though I don’t think it will be the

easiest, it will make me feel great because It will mean I have completed my product. I think the

most difficult aspect of this project will be getting the list of materials and pricing everything,

however I feel that I will definitely be able to cope with the difficulty and do it fine. I will

definitely need to enlist in the help of the Lumberyard workers, so I hope that they will be able to

assist me with what I need to ask them. Their help will be needed for me to figure out what

materials I will need, the proper pricing for the materials and labor, and creating a bid for my

building. I believe they should be able to help me with all of this as it’s what they do for their

job.

With everything written down now, my next step in the creation process of everything

listed, is to create the CAD drawing of the building. In addition, I would also like to hopefully

start my list so that I can ensure I'm getting things done for my product. I’m honestly not sure I'm

prepared for this but I feel like as long as I really try and just keep up with my due dates I should

create a pretty neat product. I’ve been kind of dreading this all of my high school career but now

that I am here and I have everything outlined, I feel pretty confident that I can do this. I’m rather

excited now actually, because I feel like this product should be relatively easy as long as I stay

focused and get everything done by my due dates I set or earlier.
