Structural Engineering for 8 Homes at Houston, TX
Project Overview
InnoDez provided structural engineering for a community of eight single-family homes located at 2010 E Crosstimbers St in Houston, Texas. The project involved designing the structural components of the homes, including the foundations, floors, and roofs.
Unique Design Challenges
- Tight Deadline: The project had a demanding two-week deadline, requiring efficient and effective design and coordination.
- Uniformity: Ensuring consistency and uniformity across the eight homes was crucial to maintain efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Builder-Friendly Design: The project emphasized a builder-friendly approach, focusing on minimizing construction costs and complexity.
InnoDez’s Innovative Solutions
- Post-Tensioned Slabs: The use of post-tensioned slabs provided a strong and durable foundation for the homes, while also allowing for larger spans and reduced material usage.
- Open Web Truss System: The 18-inch open web truss system for the floors offered a lightweight, efficient, and cost-effective solution.
- Consistent Design: InnoDez developed a standardized structural design for all eight homes, ensuring consistency in materials, dimensions, and construction methods. This approach streamlined the construction process and helped to meet the tight deadline.
- Cost Optimization: The design focused on minimizing construction costs without compromising structural integrity. This involved careful selection of materials, efficient design methods, and coordination with the builder.
Project Outcomes
InnoDez’s structural design for the community of eight homes in Houston, Texas, successfully met the project’s unique challenges and delivered a high-quality, efficient, and cost-effective solution. The use of post-tensioned slabs and open web trusses, combined with a standardized design approach, resulted in a well-constructed and durable community of homes.
