This is an analysis of the process that was taken in constructing the Deakin car park at the Burwood campus, which was mentioned in one of our lectures. It was an interesting project in terms of its constraints, the building process was limited to 4 months over the summer holidays. The initial 3 level car park was designed so that another two levels could be added at a latter date when funding was available. The decision process on the method of building is explained, the result was steel frame with composite slabs. This proved to be the most financial efficient method within the limited time span. The requirements of the project are explained in detail and the processes by which the eventual structure characteristics where chosen are discussed. The reasoning for the flooring system, columns, fabrication, stairs, façade, surface treatment are discussed and specifications given.

Demolition Complication
A portal frame structure used to occopy this site years ago. When demolished all but the pad footings and part of the beams rising from them remained as they would've been difficult to remove.
