Architectural & BIM Technology
Executive summary
The following document is based on the development of St John's college Waterford city. A brief introduction will introduce the reader to the works being carried out in the development itself. A background on the history of the college building is carried out and from here the main legal issues that will arise in such a project will be outlined and three of these issues will be examined in more detail. These issues will be planning with respect to conservation & protected structures, health & safety and contractual disputes. At the end of the report a reflective learning piece will be written to show what the author has learned during this process.
The following report is based on the development that will take place at St John's college Waterford city. The report will firstly identify the main legal issues that could arise in such a development and secondly critically evaluate these legal issues. Not all of the main legal areas will be looked into but all these areas will be listed in the section below. From this section three legal issues will be chosen and analysed in greater depth from an architect & architectural technician's point of view. The development that is taking place is financed by the respond housing association. The main contractors for the works to be carried out are Mythen construction. The development will include the following, a full restoral of the college building which will include 21 self-contained apartments along with a day centre for elderly people. An additional 36 new build one bedroom apartments will be constructed on site parallel to the folly road.[1]
Main legal issues
- Planning with respect to conservation & protected structures
- Boundaries & easements
- On site contracts
- Contractual disputes
- Health & safety
- Tendering issues
- Duty of care
The three issues that will be analysed in greater depth will be planning with respect to conservation & protected structures, health & safety and contractual disputes.
St John's college background
St John's College site is located at john's hill, Richardson folly, Waterford city (fig.3). According to the national inventory of architectural heritage the building was constructed between the years 1865-1875. The college was originally designed by architect George Goldie[2]. The design of the building can be loosely termed the gothic revival style (fig. 4). The building is listed as protected structures (reg. no. 22830069)[3] while the entrance along johns hill (fig.5) is also listed as a protected structure (reg. no. 22830075)[4]. A full description of both these protected structures can be found on the national inventory of architectural heritage website. The original use of the building was a theological college and this was the case up until 1990's when the building was closed due to a decline in vocation[5]. The building has been left unoccupied now for a number of years. In 2007 the respond housing association in partnership with local governments, communities and the department of environment purchased the college building and a portion of the surrounding land with the intention of housing for the elderly scheme[6].
Planning permission for protected structures
In order for the development to gain planning permission the developer will have to design plans that are in accordance with the Waterford city council development plan 2013 and the planning and development act 2000. This is due to the college building being listed as a protected structure (reg. no. 22830069). Before any planning permission can be received a full architectural heritage impact assessment and an expert consultant study must be carried out by a conservation specialist that records the architectural significant of the college and recommendations for conservation.
The main elements of works to the protected structures will be the repair and refurbishment of the college building. Prior to the commencement of any works or repairs and refurbishments a written specification of works and a works method statement should be submitted to the Waterford city council for agreement in relation to the protected structure. All works carried out in relation to the protected structure should be carried out in accordance with the best practice conservation methodologies; the heritage councils published advice on principles of good practice in management of architectural heritage, these are as follows[7]:
- Avoidance of unnecessary works.
- Repair rather than replacement of deteriorated or damaged features.
- Minimal intervention.
- Reversibility.
- Use architects and engineers trained in building conservation.
In the planning and development act 2000 protected structures are covered under part IV section 58 which states the following:
"Each owner and each occupier shall, to the extent consistent with the rights and obligations arising out of their respective interests in a protected structure or a proposed protected structure, ensure that the structure, or any element of it which contributes to its special architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural, scientific, social or technical interest, is not endangered".[8]
With these stipulations being addressed and adhered to planning permission will have a greater chance of being approved by the Waterford county council.
Health and safety
The works carried out for this building will have to comply with the safety, health and welfare at works regulations 2013. These regulations give guidance on the proper procedures that must be in place before and during construction.
Firstly the client must appoint a project supervisor for both the design process and the construction stage. The client can be self-appointed if competent to undertake the duties involved. These persons must be appointed before or at the design process stage and the commencement of the construction stage. The client should also be reasonable satisfied that the persons allocated will have the resources to enable that person to perform the duties posed under these regulation before the commencement of works.[9]
Health and safety plan
This plan gives the contractors bidding for the job and those working on site the safety issues specific to the project. The plan can be divided into two sections: the pre-tender plan and the final plan.
The pre-tender plan should be orgainsed by the project supervisor that will be appointed to the project. This plan should be prepared as soon as possible when the project is conceived and submitted as part of the tender documentation. This plan should also set out all of the significant safety risks associated with the project, therefore allowing the contractor to develop health and safety procedures and systems for the project. The Pre-tender plan should contain the following:
- Information such as the completion date, site information, conditions and current use etc.
- Foreseeable health and safety risks in the design.
- The construction methods recommended by the designer.
- Any additional information the planning supervisor believes the contractors should be made aware of to endure the safety of workers.
From here the main contractor will be appointed and will become there responsibility to develop the plan further into its final form. The client must then ensure that this final plan is developed to a high level to permit construction works to begin. The final plan should contain the following:
- The health and safety management rules and procedures developed for the site.
- The safety management structure developed for the project.
- Any issues the contractor may raise in risk assessment prepared in accordance with the safety, health and welfare at works regulations 2013.
- Rules for monitoring compliance with the plan.
Health and safety file
The planning supervisor has the responsibility of preparing a health and safety file for all structures that comprise the construction project. This file should contain the information on the structure design, construction and how the building will be used by the occupants. The following should be in the completed health and safety file:
- Details of the construction method and materials.
- A record of drawings and plans used throughout the period of construction.
- Details on the location and nature of utilities and services.
- Details of equipment and maintenance facilities.
- Any information from the health and safety plan that would be relevant for future projects.
This file is to be made available for inspection by any person e.g. sub-contractors who may need it to comply with their statutory duties or to any person acquiring an interest in the premises by the client.
Contractual disputes
On large construction projects contractual disputes can often arise, this has become more common place over the last number of years due to the economic down turn. Construction project participants are not willing or able to compromise and use cash to smooth over rough spots hence disputes arise and ultimately must be resolved in the legal system. For the purpose of this report two areas of contractual disputes will be examined in depth, scope of works and construction defects.
Scope of works
A scope of works is defined by the construction contract between the owner/client and the contractor. All contractors involved in a construction project have a scope of works, the sub-contractors scope of works are contractually defined but different from the main contractors. The scope of works set out by the owner should be very explicitly defined due to contractors not being contractually obliged to perform works that are beyond the contractual scope of works. According to the RIAI Standard Form of Contract:
"For the consideration hereinafter mentioned the Contractor will upon and subject to the Conditions annexed hereto execute and complete the Works shown upon the Contract Drawings and/or described in the Specification, Bills of Quantities and Conditions all of which together with this agreement are hereinafter referred to as the "Contract Documents"[10].
In the event where the owner issues a change of order to the original scope of work, this may be considered a breach of contract and can allow the contractors to stop works until both parties reach an agreement regarding the change or extra works that fall beyond the original contractual scope of works.
In the case of plans and specifications, disputes can arise between the owner, contractors and design professionals when they interpret documents differently, especially when the description of works in plans and specifications are unclear or ambiguous. The owner has the implied warranty that the plans and specifications are correct, accurate and buildable.[11]
Construction defects
Construction defects can arise at two times, the first being during the construction process while the second being a good deal of time after the construction is finished, this is known as latent defects.
Over the course of the construction period the owner may identify extra works in the case of defects that is either not in the original scope of works or not in conformance with the plans and specifications. A dispute arises when the contractors do not agree with the owner's assertion of the defective construction. The contractors generally allow the owner to order the replacement or repair of the defective work. The contractors will then have a claim against the owner at the end of the project in the event that the contractors had conformed to the plans and specifications they received. The probability of this happening during the construction works at St John's College is very prevalent as the building is very old and has not been occupied for some time and some defects may not be apparent during the first inspections of the building. In this case it is the author's opinion that a clause should be stipulated in the contract with the main contractor that a certain amount of money should be held in retention as a safeguard against any defects that may arise during the construction process.
A latent defect can be defined as construction defects that are not readily apparent or discoverable during an inspection of the completed works. A construction contract should include a latent defects clause so the owner of the property has a certain amount of time to highlight a construction defect. In the event when the time frame in this latent clause expires the owner may still make the contractor accountable for the construction defects. This can be when the contractor is in breach of contract or in a case of duty of care under negligence law.[12]

MYSQL database development and Amazon API

Project Budget$8 - $15 USD / hour
Completed In20 days
Total Bids16
Project Description
I own a company that manages multiple online stores
We need someone to build MYSQL databases to store feed information from our suppliers and then write and schedule scripts to automatically download daily inventory feeds from our suppliers and update the database. The tables will also need upload/download functionality similar to the tables we already have built.
The ideal person for this job needs:
1. To be one person (not a team of individuals). This is important because I want to be able to interact with a single person who understands the entire project. I believe I will get a better interface between applications and better efficiency.
2. Able to contact the person over phone/Skype to explain the work needed sometime during my regular business hours (at least 2 work hours must overlap with regular working hours in Pacific Standard Time [California, USA]
3. Person must understand MySQL very well. How to create tables, write efficient and SCALEABLE queries, and create scripts in .php that can easily interact with databases WITHOUT freezing up our server. This is very important because our current applications tend to overuse server resources and freeze up. We don't want this to happen, which is why we want a quality system built.
4. Person must be proficient in .php code, specifically with respect to writing scripts for interacting with database information. This includes applications through which my employees can view information in the database and edit that information.
5. Needs to be able to build interfaces that look and function similar to the tables I already have. I want consistency among tables.
Work will probably be 20 hours a week at least for the next 3 months, and if you are also proficient in amazon API or web design, possibly long term. The work will be sequential, meaning that I will request a certain table be built and populated by pulling from a specific file, I will then review the work and then send instructions for the next step, the way it would be if we worked out of the same office. I would prefer to set this up as full time work, but I know that there will be plenty of down time between tasks caused by differences in time zones. So this will be set up as an hourly project monitored by Freelancer TimeTracker.
I DO NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN WORKING WITH SOMEONE WHO IS INEXPERIENCED OR WHO IS OVERLY BUSY. I want quality work done efficiently.

A few weeks ago I uncovered the Rotator and the control box for my KR600RC Rotator. Connecting it together and powering it up resulted in a lot of whirring from the rotator and only clockwise movement. Removing the cover the reason for the whirring was obvious; the drive band had perished. I searched the web for the a replacement there was no obvious source. However there was a hint from the VKL reflector that the rubber nitrile band was a #29. Web Research showed that in the UK this is called a BS029, which were available on EBAY costing £5 for 10, so 10 were ordered
The reason for no counter clockwise was also investigated. The reason was because the NC contact on the clockwise switch, through which the counterclockwise switch gets its power, was open circuit. Note that the 2 switches are different; the clockwise is DPDT (6 pins) , the anticlockwise is DPST (4 pins). Researching a replacement switch, I found someone was selling refurbished ones in Australia Kur02.com.au, so it must be possible to take them apart!
The replacement bands arrived last week so it was time to start repairs. First the rubber feet were taken off. The cover was then removed and the front panel detached. The gear train then had to be dismantled, by removing the calibrated bezel screws to get to the screws holding the metal cover holding the gears in place!) to get the band in place. Note that the rubber band goes round 3 axles to maintain tension
Powering up the indicator then worked properly. The broken switch was then taken apart by releasing the 4 lugs. I noticed that the 2 contacts had slightly different profiles. The non contacting contact was then removed and bent into a shape matching the working contact. The switch was then reassembled and was now found to be performing properly. Job done!
My only concern is how robust the controller is for mountaintop operation; I can see building an all digital controller with LCD display coming up!

ADF4351 signal generator
Although I have a portable signal generator using the SI570 that can get to 200MHz I needed something that goes a bit higher. Looking on ebay I found some modules that cover 35 MHz to 4400MHz using the ADF4531 for 20GBP so I ordered one (auction 172152204149 by ayanhu81)
It took 4 weeks to arrive. The next question was how to control the module. An internet search revealed a design by F1CJN here using an Arduino UNO and LCD shield with buttons from dfrobot.com, which I did not have. However I remembered in my collection I already had a similar LCD/Switch unit from adafruit This would need some code modification, time to remember how arduino's worked. It was not too hard as Adafruit provide the libraries and examples for this unit on their web site. The biggest issue was as my switch reading used SPI not the A/D converter of the original design it was much faster resulting in much keybouncing. Some strategically placed delays stopped that issue.
I now have it working. Listening to the signal on 144MHz and 432MHz it sounds OK, if a little off frequency due to the cheap on board reference (6kHz low at 432.2MHz) but as the board has an external reference input that is not an issue. Next to take a look at the output spectrum, which is reputed not to be too good at lower frequency, then to put it in a box.

I don't know about you, but I am tired. I think it's January syndrome. We should be soft, quiet and resting at this time of year don't you think? It's hard to get motivated right now. I was full of plans for making new work recently, but January has got me and I am feeling very sleepy and struggling to motivate myself to anything much.
Also, I'm poor (again) so I am not able to buy materials to make new work until next month. One thing I am doing though is learning to code. I'm using Processing which seems like a good programme for visual stuff. I'm also quite keen to start exploring Arduino tech and will hopefully and finally get my Raspberry Pi up and running. Honestly, I've had the damn thing for about 4 years and done nothing with it so far. It's quite pathetic of me. I have everything I need to play with it except a monitor to hook it up to. I'm hoping that I might be able to borrow a monitor from work and get it all going.
I want to explore this tech with my weather work and I also want to look at ways of incorporating tech into the autism dolls that I'm working on right now. I have some ideas about sensory issues that I want to explore. So much to do, so little energy to do it.
Dear Winter, do bugger off, dear Spring, please come quickly!

(7/23/15) Like Tweet Share Pin Email 0 Comments July 22, 2015 11:11 PM MOTT HAVEN - While most students are enjoying their summer break, a Princeton University-bound Bronx teen is working to make his community a better place. When he isn't busy studying, Vidur Beharry says he spends most of his time volunteering. "That's something I like to do," he says. "I feel like a lot of teenagers and adults, in general, don't like to do that, even though it's necessary." Beharry is one of five New York City students who were chosen to participate in Bank of America's national Student Leaders program. Beharry says the program includes working to determine how nonprofits tie into the business sector and with government. This summer, he is interning with the Citizens Committee for New York City, which has teamed up with the bank to revitalize Brook Park in Mott Haven. "This was an area that was blighted years ago," says Jeff Barker, president of Bank of America's New York City market. "Now it's a community garden, and it teaches children and adults about nutrition." Beharry is one of 200 high school juniors and seniors around the country participating in the Student Leaders program. He is also a Gates Millennium Scholar. Beharry will use money from the grant to attend Princeton in the fall.

Spotted this steamy little construction scene on Market St and started taking photos when this super-serious-bicyclist pulled right into my shot. By the way he was staring at me, he looked unhappy, but he just sat there sort of posing for me as I kept snapping away. Even the construction guy was wondering what was going on.
Shot with 645 PRO, then edited in Snapseed (free today!), with a final pass through SwankoLab's "Blackout" mix (great for black and white with vignetting). Thank you super-serious-biker-person!

The forces and entities contributing to environmental change.
Unprecedented wildfires in droughstricken Chile - Chilean Wildfires are Worst to Ever Strike the CountryRobertscribbler,25 January, 2017Drought in Chile has now lasted for more than a ten years.Yearly precipitation deficits have ranged from 30-70% for most of central Chile for the last decade. But the ongoing drought's intensity has increased since 2011. The result has been "an unprecedented drought in terms of intensity, spatial and temporal extent."The Disaster Center ?@Disaster_Center Chile battles devastating wildfires as international help pours in http://dlvr.it/NC9YyJ Retweets 20 Likes 18 11:06 AM - 25 Jan 2017 1 reply 20 retweets 18 likes Over recent days, the forests of Central Chile appear to have finally succumbed to the unprecedented and unrelenting punishment. One by one, massive wildfires ignited through Chile's bone-dry woods - scorching hillsides, decimating more than 100 vineyards, and resulting in the tragic loss of four firefighters. As of today, more than 85 wildfires have burned approximately 190,000 hectares of land - or about 733 square miles.This charred chunk of Chile more than half the size of Rhode Island represents the worst fire disaster in the state's history. Now, nations are scrambling to help Chile respond to the crippling disaster as more than 35 large fires continue to rage out of control.President Michelle Bachelet, visiting the hard-hit Maule region, stated to Reuters:"We have never seen something of this size, never in Chile's history. And the truth is the (firefighting) forces are doing everything that is humanly possible and will continue to do so until the fires are contained and controlled."(NASA satellite shot of massive wildfires burning in Central Chile on January 21 of 2017. Image source: LANCE MODIS.)These massive fires serve as the most recent book-end to a crippling climate change related situation that has been impacting Chile and larger South America for years. The fire situation has obviously been set in place by current 'Mega Drought' conditions. A drought period that"stands out not only in the historical record but also in precipitation and stream flow reconstructions for the last 1000 years."It's a drought situation that's replete with climate change related signals. Negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) values helped to push Chile into a dry phase through 2012 even as drying was considerably stronger than during past negative PDO periods. As PDO flipped to positive from 2013 onward, related El Nino conditions failed to bring expected rainfall to the state and drought conditions worsened. Due to these factors, climate researchers note: "there is an strong suggestion that anthropogenic climate change is [at least in part] responsible for the present Mega Drought."(It's not just wildfire-ravaged Chile. Large regions of South America are also experiencing severe drying which is helping to increase wildfire risk. Such drying is a feature of human-caused climate change in that human-forced warming due to fossil fuel burning increases evaporation rates and related stress to forests even as it drives fundamental alterations to precipitation patterns that can substantially worsen drought and wildfire intensity. Image source: NOAA.)Climate change also appears to be driving drying in neighboring South American states like Brazil and Bolivia - where severe droughts and related warming are drying up massive lakes and helping to worsen the wildfire situation in the Amazon Rainforest. In Bolivia, drought has combined with a climate change driven removal of key mountain glaciers that has produced an endemic state of water scarcity. In Brazil, warming and deforestation are combining to remove a large portion of the atmospheric moisture plume that the great Amazon Rainforest provides. So the historic Chilean wildfires should also be considered in the larger context of ongoing South American droughts related to climate change.Links:The Current Mega-Drought in Chile - Is the Future Now?NOAALANCE MODISChile Battles Devastating Wildfires

During each of the Poya (Full Moon) Days, many lay members come to the temple to practice their Seela, or Virtue. At the beginning of the day they make a vow to keep Eight Precepts until sunset. During the day they practice meditation, listen to Dhamma Talks, observe noble silence, and reflect on what it means to honor the Buddha by following the rules he gave us for a healthy moral life. It is customary in Sri Lanka - and now in Sri Lankan Buddhist temples in America - for lay people to wear white clothing when participating in religious observances. White is the color of purity, which symbolizes the Buddha's Path of Purification to Enlightenment.
About the temple
Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara [Vijaya means Victory; Vihara means Temple] carries on the Theravada tradition which is mainly in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, Laos and Cambodia. The Theravada tradition is the oldest and most authentic version of the Buddha's teachings now surviving. It preserves the original doctrines and practices taught by the Buddha over 2,600 years ago.

Smells Like Summer – The Top Seasonal Scents
Its´s finally here, the days are longer and colours stronger. Now July is fast approaching and we have just passed the summer solstice, this is sure fire guarantee for a (short) period of fine weather and a chance to top up our tans and show more skin. With an increase in temperatures comes a decrease in clothes. Bulky knits give way to cotton t-shirts and heavy outerwear for unstructured linen blazers; all in all it is like a seasonal metamorphosis for your wardrobe which initially can leave your body a little pasty pale and summer sweaty.
Practically every man acknowledges that summer sun means a sartorial gear shift and it is not a bad idea also to switch tracks with your scent. Heavy, woody fragrances may have been the order of the day in winter climes, but a slight sniff of their heavy, spicy tones can easily kick start your bodies' central heating. To summarise, rising temperatures need fresher and lighter scents for some welcome respite and relief.
When you want to smell as good as you look and also to help you stay fresh and clean, here are some of the best choices for summer scents that will give you a welcome dazzle from the heat of the street to the beach and the bar.
Givenchy Gentlemen Only Parisian Break
Like the typical Parisienne street style, the victory of the latest men's scent from Givenchy aims to take men right back to the basics. This scent is less, shall we say, complex than its rival aromas. Entitled Parisienne Break, the inspiration for this fragrance was the idea of walking along the Seine in the hazy depths of summer where you come into contact with mint and citrus which cuts into a herby sage before training off with bases of vertiver. This scent is ideal for walking along the rivers for a weekend city break in Paris or anywhere else that matters. For an evening installation, feel free to update to something a little heartier.
Available from John Lewis at £39 for the 50 ml Eau de Toilette.
Tom Ford Costa Azzurra
Tom Ford is the master of glamour and excess, so don´t expect anything fresh and light from his range of rich ( and heavily) priced fragrances. Costa Azzurra is Fords latest entry into the fragrance market for this summer. A captivating blend of Neroli with its full bodied woodiness takes you in the other direction of the Sardinian sun kissed coastline with its herby and citrus notes which are eloquently cut with a fresh saltines which finally fades off into a mixture of vanilla, oak and driftwood. This scent is great idea for the heavier, balmy nights and pretty much everything else thanks to its lingering and intoxicating waves.
Available from John Lewis at £145 for the 50 ml Eau de Parfum.
Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2016
If you fancy a fast freshen up then this is the fragrance of the summer, quite literally. Issey Miyake once again re-interprets his classic L'Eau d'Issey from 1994 making this option the easiest and most refreshing instalment to wear to date. Worthy of the simplest description of aquatic, this spritz is a one stop maritime experience. It presents an explosion of fruit filled top notes with protagonists such as grapefruit and kiwi with a sweet undertone of pineapple. This is a refreshing dive into the citrus inspired seas cape. A punchy, zesty refreshing spray which is idea when leaving for the office or the gym changing rooms.
Available from Harrods at £41 for the 125ml Eau De Toilette.
Floris Bergamotto Di Positano
Italy's Amalfi coast is a magical place and the village of Positano ´bites deeply´ as John Steinbeck once wrote when describing the captivating beauty of its views which will always be ingrained in your memory after the shortest of visits. Floris' Bergamotto di Positano is a fragrance which will be equally ingrained in your mind for all the right reasons. A compatible blend of mandarin and bergamot, its deep bite mellows slowly over time uncovering a glowing bed of warm spicy notes like ginger and amber. Luxuriously smooth undertones of orange blossom and vanilla lasts for several hours, although it will be remembered for longer.
This is an excellent classic summer scent for taking on holiday or giving your nose some well-deserved respite.
Available from Floris London at £120 for the 100ml Eau de Parfum.
John Varvatos Artisan Blu
Designer from across the pond, John Varvatos trademark style is rugged leather and denim, but his scents present an altogether different idea. His recent and most popular offering, Artisan Blu is a fresher and more maritime inspired retake of his 2009 top seller, Artisan. The Blu version presents a lemon – herbaceous fusion splash with a touch of chayote which affords its wearer a woody sweetness of pistachio, pine and patchouli. Paying homage to the summer and an all things nautical slant, Artisan Blu is decorated in the style of an aromatic bounty wrapped in a fisherman's net, which makes it one of the more visually interesting additions to your bathroom cabinet.
This is a great fragrance for day dreaming of summer trips when you're stuck in the office.
Available from Debenhams at £44 for the 75ml Eau De Toilette.
Paul Smith Sunshine for Men
Last but not least, this scent does what every good designers fragrance should – distil the essence of the brand. If the stripe is Smiths visual identity, then this is his aromatic one. Sunshine is a light, playful offering that pays homage to Smith´s playful approach to pattern and colour. It present a bouquet of top citrus notes that are crisp, light and amusing with a detectable fusion of coriander and grapefruit in there also. A mid-section of anise, nutmeg and black pepper really give this scent its punch and adding a welcome sweeter, closed tone from the rest of this seasons more fresher, more maritime influences.
A perfect choice for daytime dates thanks to its edible smell.
Available from Boots at £26 for the 100ml Eau De Toilette.
