Major penalty for copying from the internet or plagiarism.
All material must be referenced appropriately.
Note: 1) The skills and information necessary to complete this assignment are
covered in the lectures and tutorials. It is your responsibility to watch
the recorded videos that cover this material. There are over 400
students in this class. It is NOT the role of the staff to walk individual
students through the entire exercise. It is the role of the staff to help
you understand the material so that you can learn from the
assignment.
2) You will be given worksheets that will take you step-by-step through
building a BIM model of the residence. The lecture/tutorial sequence
has been structured to make the sequence as understandable as
feasible. The worksheets are intended to set out a sequence of
operations that reinforce your understanding of building construction.
They may not be the most efficient method of building a BIM model.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
You are employed as a cadet construction manager for a building contractor (Builder) specialising
in residential construction, alteration and extension projects in the Brisbane area. You form part of
a project team responsible for design, documentation and construction of a three bedroom dwelling
(complete with two car garage) on a standard suburban lot. A sketch plan has been prepared and
approved by the Client, and attached to this brief is the dimensioned floor plan (at 1:100 scale).
The site for the dwelling is to be chosen by each student using Queensland Globe. The site
chosen should be a suburban lot within the Brisbane area. Each student will select a site with
dimensions that will accommodate the clients approved floor plan (with the overall site size being
no larger than 35M deep x 25M wide to fit on an A3 drawing sheet). The dimensions on your site
drawing will be the same as the dimensions showing in your report at Part 4.5 Qld Globe.2
While each student is required to have a unique site, the slope of the land for all students will be
the same with an even fall of the land at 0.5M from the rear boundary to the street alignment.
NOTE – this Assessment is an individual piece of work for each student and this is reinforced by
students identifying their site from Queensland Globe. The site you chose is unique to your
project – DO NOT COPY ANOTHER STUDENTS site selection.
As well as constructing houses, alterations or extensions, this Builder generally provides the
professional services associated with the procurement, either by his/her own internal professional
staff or by engagement of external consultants. Such professional services may include:
• Design (Building Designer or Architect)
• Contour and detail survey of the site (Surveyor)
• Geotechnical report (Geotechnical Engineer)
• Construction drawings suitable for approvals and obtaining sub-contract prices (Building
Designer or Architect)
• Estimate of cost (Quantity Surveyor or Estimator)
• Structural engineering design (Structural Engineer)
• Energy efficiency assessment (Energy Efficiency Assessment Provider)
• Building Certification under the Building Code of Australia and the Queensland Development
Code (Building Certifier)
• Preparation of the building contract and contract administration during construction
(Construction Manager or appropriate professional person).
You have been allocated tasks associated with the above activities so that you gain insight
into procurement of a dwelling from the design stage to the end of construction. The tasks
consist of preparation of selected construction drawings and an associated report. The
report must consider (but is not limited to) elements of site establishment, site works,
construction, materials, energy saving measures, cost estimation and the building contract.
2.0 CLIENT BRIEF
2.1 BUDGET
The Client has a Project Budget of $270,000.
2.2 SITE
As noted in the Introduction, the site (your site) for this three bedroom dwelling should have unique
dimensions for each student’s site drawing – the site for your assessment will be chosen by you
from Queensland Globe. Students are required to draw this site to show site boundaries and
dimensions, relationship to roads and neighbouring properties, orientation (related to the cardinal
points). All this information is to show in a drawing prepared by the student – see 3.1 SITE PLAN.
(Refer to the dot points at 3.1 SITE PLAN for details on what to draw). Also an example site plan
is provided in the tutorials to assist you. You will need to show similar information on your site plan.
A generic geotechnical report exists for your site. The site has been classified ‘M – moderately
reactive clay’ in accordance with Australian Standard AS 2870 – 2011. The generic geotechnical
report applies to all the unique sites being used for this assessment. This report advises on the
types of footing to be used in the construction of the small dwelling
2.3 CLIENT REQUIREMENTS
The Client has expressed a preference for the following construction materials and systems:
• Timber-framed construction with an external brick veneer skin.
