CE4103 Design Project E: Innovative Construction Methods for Enhancing Productivity

1. Overview

The objective of this project is to propose a suitable design of a building project,

incorporating elements of construction. Students will propose a buildable design system

for the selected site, which will include structural systems, wall systems and other

buildable design features. The students are to also suggest efficient labour methods to

improve productivity at the construction stage of the building works. The buildable

design score, constructability score, with a detailed design and implementation plan will

be expected as the deliverables of the project. Students will be taught to use BIM as part

of the design and planning process.

Students will be sent for courses conducted by BCA on Buildability Design Appraisal and

Basic Concepts in Construction Productivity Enhancement. Outstanding student groups

will have a chance to compete in BCA's productivity challenge which will be held in

October 2014.

2. Learning Objectives

The following are the lesson objectives set out by BCA as part of the Singapore

Construction Productivity Week (SCPW):

Allow students to gain insights into the Buildability and Constructability

Frameworks.

Understand building legislations and its potential impact on changing

structural design practices in the industry.

Understand technological advances in design and construction which can

significantly increase construction productivity.

Create awareness of BCAs productivity initiatives including CPCF incentive

schemes.

Identify productive technologies and systems adopted in the construction

sector.

To enable the module to meet the Departments requirements, the following learning

objectives will also be added:

Allow students to carry out precast and cast-in-situ concrete analysis and

design on an actual project

Allow students to experience structural concrete design using BIM as a

modelling and analysis tool

Allow students to appreciate the importance of site conditions during project

planning, and understand its impact on construction (schedule and cost)

8. Project Design Scope

With the selected site and detailed parameters provided, participants have to propose

buildable design system comprising of structural and wall system, major architectural

components and other buildable design features in order to optimise the Buildable

Design Score. The team shall consider external factors (i.e. soil condition, access and

storage on site, availability of resources, skills and technology, sequence of operations

etc.) and site constraints to establish good planning initiatives and techniques to

determine the most appropriate building system.

Notwithstanding the use of buildable designs during the upstream design process, the

adoption of labour efficient construction technologies and improved work processes

downstream must be complemented to achieve high Constructability Score, in the areas

of structural works, architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing works as well as

good industry and site practices.

For the purpose of the Productivity Challenge, they should also propose costing details

for individual trades and the construction sequencing/schedule for the whole project

with detailed breakdown for each work heads. The whole project (including Structure

and Architectural should be completed within/not exceeding the block budget of

______________million.

Participants can defray some of the cost of their productive technologies by tapping on

the Construction Productivity and Capability Fund (CPCF) schemes.

4 To be decided by Prof Tan Kiang Hwee

9. Site Selection

The selected site for the Productivity Challenge is the BCA Academy new training

workshop block located at 200 Braddell Road. The total Gross Floor Area (GFA) is

23,054.54 sq. meters for the new block construction. The site layout, plans and other

related information will be provided to the students.

10. SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS

Students are required to comply with the following design requirements and parameters

in the development of the project. These requirements serve to guide the realisation of

a high quality and well-designed development.

A summary of the design requirements and parameters is tabulated in the table below.

These parameters are specially modified and customised for the purpose of the

competition only. Students are expected to make reference to the relevant codes and

regulations in order to deliver a buildable and sustainable building design that suits the

local standards.

The building design and drawing documents given do

not contain complete information with the intention to

allow participating teams to make logical assumptions

with justifications, counter propose different design and

materials to suit your intent and objective. The

participating teams need to identify the site constraints

and work within its parameters to establish good

planning initiatives and techniques for better site

construction and installation. They may optimise the

structural design without modification to architectural

design of the existing plans.

Group 2:

B

C

Formatted: Font: 12 pt

Formatted: Indent: Left: 1.27 cm,First line: 1.27 cm

Design for Hollow Core Floor System.

Group 5:

For the SCPW requirements, you are allowed to optimise the structural design without

modification to the architectural design of the existing plans. You need to clearly state your

proposed design, and back it up with logical reasoning for the proposed changes. If you wish,

you may back up your design with analysis using any software package.
