    This document outlines an assignment for a Building Construction course that requires students to produce construction drawings and specifications for elements of a small residential building. Students must select two building elements like walls, doors, windows, slabs, or stairs to draw in detail at a scale of 1:50 including dimensions and material specifications. The drawings and specifications will be assessed based on clarity, appropriate use of symbols, dimensions, and quality of documentation of the construction elements. References for further research on construction materials and methods are also provided.

    Introduction

    This project is designed to allow the demonstration of knowledge and understanding


    of construction and application from prior projects. Emphasis in producing related
    manual construction drawing detail and specification. Technical knowledge is viewed
    as something separate from design. One of the aims of this assignment is to develop
    an awareness and understanding of the strong inter-relationship between these two
    areas of study. Critical success of any design project relies on a designers ability to
    address issues of appropriate methods of construction, integration of structure and
    the selection of materials whilst addressing the many other complex issues that are
    part of the design process. This assignment will enable you to develop and
    demonstrate some knowledge of construction, materials and structural theory in a
    small scale design project.

    Page 1 of 4
    Objectives of Assignment

    To develop an understanding of the structural elements in construction and its


    application in the construction industry.
    To apply suitable construction elements, material and detail/joint solutions
    suitable for a specific design.
    To demonstrate a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of
    buildability.
    To demonstrate awareness of how buildings are developed in response to
    practical considerations.
    To demonstrate certain levels of manual drawing and sketching skills.
    To allow students to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of
    construction, material and technology.
    To encourage students to produce manual sketches, drawings and detailing
    relating to construction.

    Learning Outcomes

    Select suitable structural elements for the architectural design.


    Design and apply a structural element for the architectural design.

    Tasks - Methodology

    Explore, Apply, Document and Explain.

    This second assignment emphasizes on proposing details for certain sections of a


    building, both structural and architectural detailing.

    Your task is to find and analyse the construction of a 2-storey or 3-storey residential
    building where you need to identify and propose only two (2) construction details for
    the selected elements of the building:

    - Wall
    - Door
    - Window
    - Slab
    - Staircase
    - Roof

    The construction method must consist use of either timber, steel, concrete or
    composite material shown in the section and details of the drawings.

    You are to strictly draw the building manually and NO computer aided drawings
    will be accepted. Your drawings must include the appropriate specifications,
    symbols, dimensions and the proposed materials clearly.

    Particularly, you should be able to show and apply your knowledge in construction
    drawing that you provide and reflect your understanding of the construction itself.

    During tutorial sessions, please bring the following:-

    Your proposed residential design-sketches or drawings.

    Not more than one (1) typewritten A4 page summarising your research into
    your proposed material(s) for the superstructure, roof and other relevant
    construction system. This will include a description of the building
    components, specified sizes and any additional relevant technical information
    Page 2 of 4
    which may be useful for the purpose of this exercise. Please provide the
    appropriate detailed references for the sources of all your information in your
    typewritten submission.

    ALL OF THE ABOVE MUST BE IN HARDCOPY.

    Drawings (Visual images, Annotated Sketches and drawings)

    Construction process, methods and materials.


    Documentation can also be in the form of pictures, sketches, drawings

    Analyse and Explain

    Specification of material used in construction


    Dimensions and sizes of components
    Standards of descriptions
    Procedures of constructing the components

    Submission Requirement

    A2 presentation sheet in a clear cover containing the following:


    1. Floor Plan
    2. Section
    3. Two (2) construction details of selected building elements
    The drawings need to be scaled (1:50 or suitable scale) and manually
    illustrated.
    Building specifications.
    Project 2 tutorial log sheet.
    Drawing and sketches are meant to provide visual documentation and
    communication. Hence they are required to be neat, clear and annotated.
    Assumptions can be made through reference from book/drawings (DO NOT
    PLAGIARISE).
    Method of construction must be according to the local climatic condition.

    Assessment criteria

    The assessment for this assignment will be based on your:-

    understanding of the brief


    quality of the documentation of drawings and detailing of the construction
    elements.
    appropriate use of drawing standards e.g symbols, dimensions and
    specifications.
    quality and clarity of your drawings.
