6. Design Development Flashcards
What is the main structural problem that should be considered by the engineer during DD?
Alternate framing plans + systems, including their associated costs.
What information does the architect need to provide to the structural engineer? (7)
1 - Geo 2 - Restrictive Areas for Supports 3 - Areas / uses / finishes 4 - Code (prelim w FRs) 5 - Location + Size of Openings 6 - Construction Materials 7 - Project Delivery
As a record of design decisions, who might use the Design Report? (7)
1- Architectural staff 2 - Bridging team - other architects 3 - Authorities having jurisdiction 4 - Client 5 - Financial Institutions 6 - Facility users / managers 7 - Consultants
What information does the architect need to provide to the mechanical engineer? (9)
1 - Glazing Type + Window Coverings 2 - Hours of Operation 3 - Diff. in room temp / RH (acceptable to client/user) 4 - Special areas (plumb/HVAC rqrmts) 5 - Code (prelim w WC / occupancy count) 6 - Controls + energy management 7 - Water / Waste removal analysis 8 - Specialty Equipment 9 - Project Delivery
What is the main mechanical problem that should be considered by the engineer during DD?
Client’s requirements for operation and maintenance, and
Rqrmnts for emerg. standby + dual equipment systems. (Should be outlined in FP)
What level of detail is required for the specifications during DD?
Outline Spec
-proposed materials and systems: basic info on appearance, texture, operation and performance
Review table of contents from all consultants with client
With whom should the architect share the ‘signed off’ schematic design.
All consultants & staff
What should the architect and structural engineer consider together during DD? (3)
1 - Availability of Material
2 - Appearance
3 - Functional Considerations
List 5 uses of design development documents
1 - Client Review + Approval 2 - AHJ + Public Group Review 3 - Consultant Input / Coord. 4 - Update Cost Estimate 5 - Basis of CDs

7 - SWITCHing + CONTROLs
8 - Telecom / data / fire alarm / security / pa SYSTEMS
What aspect of the design should the architect and electrical engineer work on together during DD? (1)
The lighting design. (typ. on RCPs)
List the 9 KEY architectural tasks to be executed during DD.
1 - Preparation & coordination of SMECL designs (schematic design) 2 - Write an Outline SPEC 3 - Perform prelim. ENERGY MODEL analysis 4 - AHJ review, Code - verification 5 - Prep PRESENTATION material 6 - Update construction COST estimate 7 - Update SCHEDULEs 8 - Resolve design problems 9 - Materials review
What should the architect and mech engineer consider together during DD? (1)
If there is no functional program the architect must assist the client in deciding on systems (future operation costs), various options of building materials (envelope and assembly).
List key drawings to be provided as part of the Client Design Review documents during DD. (8)
1 - Site 2 - All Floor Plans 3 - All Elevations 4 - Building Sections 5 - SME Plans 6 - Details of significant design features 7 - Prelim furn/equip plans 8 - Presentation (renders, colour Boards etc)
What should the structural engineer resolve during DD? (7)
1 - Prepares different solutions, systems, costs, etc.
2 - Choice of economical & functional system with appropriate bay framing
3 - Critical dimensions of depths of members
4 - size / location of OPENINGS required in structure, embedded items in structure
5 - min. CEILING clearances
6 - rqrmnts for FRs
7 - provision for specialty EQUIP (+typ. mech equip)
