Course Description from the Pratt Catalogue:
The Capstone Project is the culmination of all of the knowledge accumulated during the first three years of the Construction Management Program. Students will be assigned a set of construction documents for a real project. The students will develop a Construction Management Project Proposal based on the construction documents. The Project Proposal will include (at minimum): Project Approach; Project Cost; Project Schedule; Project Staffing; Safety Plan; Value Engineering Proposals; and Site Logistics Plan. Following the preparation of the Project Proposal, the students will prepare a public presentation to be reviewed and critiqued by a jury of Construction Management Professionals.
The Capstone Project:
The project we were given for Capstone in the Fall of 2019 was an office renovation for an advertisement and marketing firm, 72andSUNNY, in the historic 55 Water Street building in Brooklyn, NY. We were tasked with creating a fictional construction management company and creating a proposal based on the design documents provided for 72andSUNNY's office space.
