Engineer types: why have y'all not designed a public


Dec 23, 2013, 3:44 PM

bathroom that doesn't have half-inch gaps between the door and the stall wall?

they exist

but like all engineering projects- all excess expenses are "value engineered" out just prior to construction.

having spent the first 2 years of my former career laying out stairs and public bathrooms, I can tell you that it does not matter what you design, the builder is going to pick the hardware and could care less if people can see you pewping.

Thats the architects fault. Nothing to do with engineers.

engineers design the cheap hardware

All the architect cares about is if the stall layout is compliant to ADA codes. If you are tight for space, then you really do not have a choice but to mount the door right on the partition, which leaves a gap.

cheap owner=cheap hardware.

Because the walls are cheap.

The partitions are cheap and the door is cheep. It takes huge fasteners to hold two pieces of cardboard housed by a piece of cheap laminate together. Engineer factor in impact loads in their design (so we can slam fat girls up against them cause we don't want our wives catching us hitting it in our offices cause they'd just laugh).

Architects want to spend owner's money on parapets and cupolas as a monument to themselves. Owners think they are getting something great.

I understand engineers, work with me here.

Not an engineering problem. It's a production / QC problem
