Task 1
1. Make a list of the construction information (plans, drawings, specifications and templates) indicating which member of a design team would produce them with a brief explanation of how the information will be used in the project.
2. Produce either a 2D plan with elevations, or a 3D model of the new grooming parlour using one of the free downloadable CAD or sketching tools, (see links to free on-line CAD tools in the reference section at the end of this assignment brief). Using the drawings, produce door and window schedules and an outline bill of quantities with approximate costs.
3. Compose a “Schedule of Works” document for the building, think about the different designers involved and the works and activities involved to meet the project requirements. Explain the application and importance of the different designer’s specifications.
Task 2
1.
2. Using 2 separate copies of the plans or model that you produced in Task 1,
a) mark one of the base building layouts with all the furniture items you think are required , to scale
b) on the second set of base building layout, indicate the following building services, lighting, positions, small power outlets and radiators on the walls. Where applicable draw these to scale on the drawings.
c) Once you have completed these two sets of mark ups, review the COMBINED furniture and building services layouts by cross referencing and identify any clashes between the furniture, and the building services.
d) Prepare a “Red pen mark up” of the drawings to highlight any errors or clashes and briefly write up a report of the findings of this red pen exercise.
3. If the project was to be changed to a “Design and Build” (D&B) type of construction, how would personnel change – who would be appointed? Provide an explanation of how the construction information would be different for D&B, and how might this benefit the client and the project, or not ?
