ABSTRACT
3

As a civil engineer, it is important for us to be familiar about the

concepts and the design methodology for the structural components of the
building. This project is done to know the process involved in preparing the plan
for the building, understanding the basic concepts of designing using AutoCad and
analyzing manually.
Prefabrication technique has been proposed for an efficient and time
saving construction method. The project envisages the design of a modular house
for mass housing.
As per the income groups, the area has been allocated to the households
for proper disposition of the area provided. The plan is selected according to the
plot dimensions and architectural inputs.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We would like to place on record, our grateful thanks to Dr.T.P.GANESAN,

Pro Vice Chancellor (P&D), for providing all facilities and help in carrying out this project. We
thank Dr. C. MUTHAMIZHCHELVAN, Director (E&T) for the stimulus provided.
We are extremely grateful to Dr. R. ANNADURAI, Professor and Head, Department of
Civil Engineering for the encouragement and support provided during the project work. .
We express our sincere thanks to the coordinator Dr. K. GUNASEKARAN, Professor,
for his valuable suggestions for improvement during project reviews.
We hereby acknowledge with deep sense of gratitude the valuable guidance,
encouragement and suggestions given by our guide Dr. M. LAKSHMIPATHY, Professor who
has been a constant source of inspiration throughout this project.
Also, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all the faculty members and nonteaching staff members in the Department of Civil Engineering for their direct and indirect help
rendered during the course of the project work
We also thank the staff of SRM DTP section for their efforts in composing the
project report. We record our sincere thanks to our parents for the support and motivation.
Last, but not the least, we thank all our friends, who freely helped us in many ways
towards the successful completion of this project work.
