WHY HUNTING

In 2011 there was a total of 13.7 million hunters in the United States

23 % of all wild-life recreation is found in hunting

(US Census Bureau)

$564,385,000 Was spent in 2011 for trip–related hunting in Louisiana

$315,763,000 Was spent in 2011 for trip-related hunting in Mississippi

Louisiana-16 % Mississippi- 36 %

RESEARCH

The given statistics show that this can be a lucrative business.

Current pricing for pay hunts Lodging---------$1000-$2000 Hunting-----Min------$ 4,000 (8-Point)

Mississippi is in the top 15 places that hunters like to hunt Shows profitability and demand

DESIGN OPTIONS

LOG CABIN

Will give the owner and customers a more luxurious feel with all of the necessities.

Less cost effective

PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING

Will give the owner and customers all of the necessities with the option of adding luxuries after design and pricing is completed.

Cost Effective (Key for this build)

LOG CABIN

Example ( Gile’s Island)

Nice facility to conduct business

Most need separate buildings for lodging (Total- 6700 sq.ft.)

Lodging takes up possible land and reduces amount of huntable property

Popular but expensive to construct

PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING

Example ( Converted Metal Building)

Cost effective Fast Construction Combines facilities into

one location Gives added space for

possible upgrades 40’x80’( total – 7200

sq.ft.)

ROUGH DRAWING – LOG CABIN

ROUGH DRAWING – METAL BUILDING

DESIGN DECISION

Pre-Engineered Metal Building

$456,264 Log Cabin

$507,400 Difference

$ 51,136 or 10% cheaper

DETAILED DRAWINGS

The detailed drawings will be done from the last week of the semester into the break. They will be continued while doing a material takeoff at the same time.

This will allow sufficient time to complete drawings and estimate.
