40. PA Construction Law Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act requires that a long list of disclosures appear in the contract – such as start and finish dates, names and addresses of subs, insurance coverage and a phone number for the Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection. Any contract which omits these disclosures is void and unenforceable. The Act also makes unenforceable any contract that includes one of eleven clauses commonly found in some home improvement contracts. Failure to comply with the Act is an unfair trade practice and gives an owner the right to recover three times actual damages plus attorney fees. Failure to comply is also a misdemeanor if the contract is for $2,000 or less. If for more than $2,000, violation is a third degree felony. Penalties are higher for repeat violations and if the owner is 60 years old or more. Failure to get a change order in writing carries the same civil and criminal penalties. www.buildingtradesdir.com/.../construction_law/law_pennsylvania/law_pennsylvania.html
41. Fines for Illegal Construction Contracts The Home Improvement Finance Act requires several disclosures, including disclosure of the right of rescission and a statement in 10-point bold type directly above the signature of the owner. A fine of up to $500 can be imposed for a first violation. Second and later violations earn the same fine plus a year in jail. In addition, the district attorney is authorized to seek an injunction against the contractor. Any violation of that injunction carries a penalty of up to $1,000. Failure to make federal truth in lending disclosures requires restitution of the overcharge. Failure to include the disclosures required by 12 Code of Federal Regulations § 226.15 extends the right of rescission to three years (rather than three days). Omitting insulation disclosures required by 16 Code of Federal Regulation § 460 can result in an $11,000 fine. www.buildingtradesdir.com/.../construction_law/law_pennsylvania/law_pennsylvania.html
43.

59. Conclusion While completing this project I learned all of the hardships that occur when designing a house. While designing a house there is lots of factors that must be taken into account. Also, making each room an appropriate size to fit everything that is needed to be included in the room makes laying out the house even more tidiest.
60. Class Activity To complete this proportional drawing you must hold your pen or pencil at a full arms length in front of you. Then close one eye. With the eye closed, use your other eye to line the top of the pen/pencil up with an end point of the object. Then use your thumb and place it at the very end of an adjacent point. Then draw the line on the paper the size from the tip to your finger. Then continue this process for all points and you will have yourself a proportional drawing. *note: Each persons picture will look different due to angle and distance from object

Editor's Notes
Orthographic- straight linesIsometric- one 3D sidePlanometric- shows all planes in the modelPerspective- shows multiply sides in one view, going back to a center point
Wireframe model- the object is made up using a series of connected linesSurface model- the model is built up by drawing surfaces of an objectSolid model- the model is built up using simple geometric forms such as cones, cylinders, prisms and cubes
How much money willing to spendArea to build onWhat the homeowner wants such as appliances, special featuresUse CAD to designPresent to homeownerMake changes based on homeowners decisionsBuild house
Design- what is it going to look like. (Shape size)Excavation- Removal or change of landscape to build onMaterials- the qualityLabor- costs for man power to build houseEquipment- extra supplies needed to create house
Size-When building a home, it's best to work with even numbers. Have your home size rounded up or down to increments of two feet. This reduces wasted materials. Also, it's most economical to build a home which is no deeper than 32 feet. If the depth exceeds 32 feet, then your roof trusses may need to be specially designed and will be more expensive. Shape- Homes that have a rectangular or box shape cost less to build. Having more angles and corners in the shape of your home can increase the amount of labor and materials needed to build a home. Dome shaped homes also make efficient use of materials and tend to cost less than other shapes. Site-Preparing a site for construction can have a big impact on the cost of a home. Building on a flat lot will usually cost less. If you have to haul in lots of dirt, do a lot of grading, clear trees, or blast through large rocks, then site preparations can become more expensive.Overruns- Usually the finished cost of a home is more then the original bid price. Cost overruns occur from overspending the allowances, making changes, and encountering unforeseen problems. Proper planning can greatly reduce cost overruns. In general, it is a good idea to allow an additional 10% to cover unexpected costs.Market- Usually the cost of building a home increases around 3% to 6% per year. If it will be several years before you begin construction, remember to include inflation into the cost estimate for your home. When using other homes to compare prices, try to use homes that have been built within the last six months.
Square-foot method - multiply the sq ft by the current estimating information. This is provided by Federal Housing Administration and varies on where you live. Usually ranges from $10-$20. rough estimateCubic-foot method - slightly more accurate. Multiply the cubic volume by $1.25. rough estimateBuildings material method- accounts for the quality of the materials. Then same size house can vary by thousands just because of the materials qualities

Footing -distributes weight of house over large areaFoundation walls- to support the load of the building above the groundPiers and columns- used to support floor systemsAnchor bolts- are embedded in the top of foundation wallsSills- provide the base for attaching the exterior walls to foundationPosts- support the weight of girders or beams and transmit the weight to the footings
Cripples- raise the floor level without the use of higher foundation wallsGirders- supported by posts and piers and are secured to the foundationJoists- span from girder to girder or girder to foundation wall
T- Forms an inverted T. it is most popular in structures with basements or when the bottom of the first floor must be accessible. consists of a trench footer upon which is placed a concrete wall. T-shaped foundations are used in areas where the ground freezes.First, the footing is placed.Second, the walls are constructed and poured.Lastly, the slab is placed.
fewer materials and labor are needed. Basements are not possible individual footers upon which columns are placed
poured directly into the ground with footers placed where extra support is needed. Requires way less laborSlab-on-ground slabs, called monolithic slabs due to their single-pour design, uses thick outer footings and filled with rebar reinforcement to form the slab. Holes dug for the footer and filled with rebar comprise the thick sides of the slab, and forms make a barrier for the pouring of the concrete. The slab is poured with one pour from the foundation holes to the top of the slab forms.
Conventional framing- super close intervals. Many beams and postsPost and beam construction- posts are vertical support while beams are horizontal support. Used in smaller buildings due to the lack of strength of wood. Little amount of posts and beams
Cross bracing is neededCan be designed to span long distances without intervening supportBecause of this there is a greater flexibility in the design
Water supply- Can run in any convenient direction because of the pressure after leaving main valve. Too many changes in direction causes friction reducing water pressure. Size ranges from ¾ “ to 1”. Placing insulation around hot water lines conserves hot water and makes savings on heating bills
Gravity drainage- all pipes slope down towards main disposal so own weight will cause it to flow towards main system and away from house. Need vents for circulation of air. Each fixture much have a seal to prevent back flow.
Dry pipes- examples are air ductsWaste lines-examples are sinks and tubsWet lines- examples pipes to appliancesSoil lines- example is toilet
Goes to a tank outside of the house. Lighter part of liquids flows to the drainage field. Size of pipes depends on codes in the community
Water closets- tank and bowl in one piece, separate, wall-hungShowers- prefabricated, built on the job, placed overBathtubs- recessed, square, free standing, sunkenLavatories- wall-hung, cabinet, built-in counter top, cornerSinks- single, double, sink and drain boardLaundry tubs- single, double, tripleDishwashers- built-in and free-standingHot water heater- electric, gasWashing Machine- top loading, front loading, wringer-type
Main source- should be controlled by wall switchElectrical outlets-1 for every 6’ of wall spaceIn kitchen- 1 for every 4’ of wall space(regardless of size)
1- toggle switches are available in different sizes: single and double pole, three and four-way
Form- can be either closed and solid or closed and volume-containingSpace- everythingLight and Shadow- areas around windows and doors appear darker since these parts are shadowed. Relationship of light to dark areas should be planned accordinglyTexture-a balance between textures should be aimed at within every buildingLine- makes different objects appear differentColor- if possible the natural color of building materials should be used. If color is used, designer must incorporate a color scheme
Unity- sense of wholeness in the design. Should appear for completeRepetition- curved lines, spaces, and texture createRhythm-repeated in regular sequenceVariety- change of rhythm throughout. Too much unity ruins appearanceEmphasis- achieved by color form texture or lineBalance- achievement of equilibrium in the design
