Project Overview

The SUMON Residence is a bespoke residential project designed to ensure optimal structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. As the Structural Engineer, my role encompassed advanced modeling, precise structural design, and efficient planning to deliver a robust and compliant structure. This project stands as a testament to innovative engineering practices and meticulous attention to detail.

My Responsibilities

1. Structural Modeling and Analysis

• Performed comprehensive structural modeling and analysis using ETABS to evaluate safety factors, load distribution, and structural stability.

• Utilized simulation tools to identify potential structural challenges and applied effective solutions.

2. Structural Design

• Designed all critical structural components, including:

  • Footings: Developed reinforced footing designs to transfer loads safely to the foundation.

  • Short Columns: Created column designs suitable for structural and architectural requirements.

  • Grade Beams: Ensured structural stability by interconnecting columns with properly reinforced grade beams.

  • Slabs: Designed slabs with precise load calculations to minimize deflection and ensure durability.

  • Floor Columns: Calculated reinforcement details to support vertical loads across all floors.

• Delivered detailed structural drawings to guide the construction team effectively.

  
  

3. Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)

• Prepared an accurate BOQ to estimate material requirements and costs.

• Drafted MOQ for efficient procurement planning and budget control.

  
  

4. Coordination and Execution

• Worked closely with architects, contractors, and site engineers to integrate structural designs with architectural requirements.

• Provided on-site support during critical construction phases to resolve structural concerns and ensure quality.

• Conducted regular site inspections to monitor adherence to design standards and project timelines.

5. Quality Assurance and Problem Solving

• Verified material quality to ensure alignment with the BOQ and project specifications.

• Addressed and resolved on-site challenges promptly, minimizing delays and maintaining structural integrity.

Key Achievements

• Successfully performed ETABS-based modeling and analysis to ensure the structure’s safety and efficiency.

• Delivered comprehensive structural designs for all key components, meeting both regulatory and project-specific standards.

• Optimized material procurement and budgeting with precise BOQ and MOQ preparation.

• Maintained high-quality construction through effective coordination and quality assurance measures.

Conclusion

The SUMON Residence project exemplifies my proficiency in structural engineering, from advanced analysis and design to on-site execution and quality management. My contributions ensured a structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, and regulation-compliant residence. This project highlights my commitment to delivering engineering excellence.
