Description In this subject, students will continue to develop the design solution they created in Building Design Project 1 (Development Application) into a fully resolved CAD model suitable for costing, scheduling, and contracting. Students apply technical and critical thinking skills to address the project constraints, and present project documentation (site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, and specifications) of a quality suitable to apply for a Construction Certificate. Complex constraints relating to buildability and efficient project delivery will be resolved based on extensive justifying research. Strict budgetary constraints will be imposed, and students will be expected to demonstrate a capacity to use lateral thinking and generate creative solutions in response to problematic situations which arise during project delivery but which were unknown at project commencement. Knowledge gained in this subject will benefit students aspiring to roles in the integrated building design industry and the delivery of building design solutions.
