  1. Diploma in Construction ManagementDiploma in Quantity Survey CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY 1 Unit 1: Communication in Construction 2009/ 2010 Linus Wang MBA, MSc (Int’l Constr Mgmt), B Eng (Civil) linuswang03@yahoo.com 96704674

  2. Aim of modules – To understand the construction technology on medium span, low-rise commercial, industrial and community Buildings

  3. Objectives : Subject mastery • – Demonstrate detailed knowledge of contemporary, • rationalised and traditional technology • – Acquire basic construction vocabulary • – Interpret construction drawings • • Objectives : Personal abilities • – Communicate technical information graphically • – Analyse and understand technical information • – Appreciate alternatives available for commercial, • industrial and community buildings

  4. Coursework and written examination – 30% of the mark is coursework – 70% of the mark is examination

  5. • Production of buildings; the industrialisation of building • Functional requirements of buildings, elements and components • Dimensional co-ordination; construction information systems • Increasing the building scale laterally; Increasing the building scale vertically • Superstructure - Structural frames • Substructure – Ground conditions; types of foundations; retaining walls

  6. • Masonry construction; Timber frame construction • Cladding and roofing to framed structures • Ground floor construction; Upper floor construction • Internal components and systems • Access throughout and escape from fire in buildings • Integration of building services

  7. The Building Team • Client • Consultants • Contractors • Occupiers • Other Groups

  8. The Building Team CLIENT • Individual • Group • Corporate • Government • Clients representative OCCUPIERS • Employees • Tenants • Residents • CONSULTANTS • Project manager • Architect • Surveyors (QS/BS) • Cost consultant • Engineer • Facilities Managers • Landscape architect • Services engineer • Planning supervisor • Estate Manager OTHER GROUPS • Planning Departments • Building control • Regulations • Conservation groups CONTRACTORS • Management Contractor • Main contractor • Sub-contractor • Specialist contractor • Nominated contractor

  9. The Building Team • How does the building team impact on the building technology? – Client may have technical background or no knowledge – Consultant have their professional opinion – Contractors have economic decisions – Occupiers are concerned with maintenance / longevity – Other groups represent political, environmental, social issues

  10. Technical Communication • Drawings • Technical Data • Specifications and Bills of Quantities Information is co-ordinated using CI/SfB

  11. Drawings

  12. Drawings

  13. Drawings Construction Drawings What is the drawing for? •General arrangement •Component •Detail What information is needed? •Relate to other drawings •Dependent on scale Standards for drawing •British Standards / ISO •Clarity and consistency

  14. Technical Data • All manufacturers of components, materials and systems create technical literature – Sales and marketing – Technical literature • Most use the CI/SfB classification system – They can be related to one another

  15. Specification and Bills of Quantities • Specifications are basically written instructions for how something is to be built – National Building Specification (NBS) is a nationally accepted way for producing a specification – Most manufacturers prepare their own specification clauses that can be used in the main document • Bills of Quantities and Cost Plans – Lists of materials or components or labour with a rate or cost attached. This allows a full cost to be agreed or estimated – Cost plans with agreed set of rates are an alternative

  16. Building Control and Regulations • Building Regulations are in place to control what gets build and ensures that a minimum standard is in place. • Scottish and English regulations exist • Regulations cover structure, thermal performance, fire regulations, control of moisture

  17. Building Control and Regulations • CDM (Construction Design and Management) • Health and Safety at work regulations (1999)

  18. Drawing Skills

  19. Last Task for the Night! • Create a title block for use on your drawings – Think what information you require – Think about a sensible layout of that information – Sketch out a title block – Create a title block completed for an imaginary drawing – bring this along on Wednesday morning
