In the past two weeks, our team was mainly focused on the drawings of the staircase and the project poster after finalizing the design. We have been working on the drawings and finished one of the representations of the staircase. The final Sketch-up drawing is our next goal of action and will be displayed on our project poster.
To give a review, our original project involved the design and construction of a staircase, but now the project implementation plan was changed since the current scope of our project focuses only on the design, as clearly stated in the previous blogs. Our team has come up with a final design of the new staircase which has a total height of 10 with a rise of 7 and a cross-section of 5 by 14.5 of each per step. It is shown in the figure below.

Our team was followed all the stages of the project and was able to succeed in implementing all stages of the project on time. Out of all the tasks we have done so far, our team has reached the conclusion that both the design of the new staircase and the poster has especially gone well. The only thing that we might need to take a look and improve on are the AutoCAD drawings, since there are still some details that need to be added before showing it to the clients so that a professional standard can be guaranteed.
For the next stages of our project, we have decided in our weekly group meeting on Wednesday (March 20th, 2013) that the leftover take-away team tasks will be done as scheduled. The tasks are shown below, and the process will be updated in the next blog.
March 23th: 3D Sketch-up Drawings (by Kanish)
March 24th: Completion of Poster (by Pearl and Maryam)
March 27th: Completion of the Project Documentations(by Cory)
Our team will be presenting our project to the clients and celebrating with all the clients and peers on the coming Monday (March 25th). We will still be controlling sure that all the implementations will be done by the expected time-frame We are looking forward to showing the final result of the project.
