| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide the student with the ability to understand and apply the key principles of construction techniques, construction detailing, built asset maintenance, refurbishment, renovation and 3D modelling and associated data management. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Explain and apply the principles of construction detailing and relate them to medium size buildings and associated legislation. |
| 2 | Assess the sources and causes of decay in buildings. |
| 3 | Apply the appropriate maintenance, refurbishment and rehabilitation process. |
| 4 | Explain the influence of building maintenance on building design, components and elements. |
| 5 | Explain and apply the principles of 3D modelling and data management to medium size buildings and associated legislation. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Structure and construction principles in contemporary use will be explored and applied in details, along with a range of materials and new methods of construction. Understanding and application of 3D modelling and the principle of data management (BIM) are introduced. Building maintenance, refurbishment and rehabilitation requirements will be assessed along with the requirements for any temporary works including a brief introduction to conservation issues. The module also introduces the reasons for deterioration and defects in buildings and will explore the relevant legislation relating to this topic. Remediation processes. Relevant legislation relating to the topics covered will be identified and reviewed. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| This is a lecture based module supplemented with tutorials, workshops and practical work which includes, simulations, fieldwork and/or site visits. A substantial part of the module is devoted to student centred learning and private study in the form of directed reading to building journals, core texts and resource material. |

| Description: | This assessment is in a technical booklet format with a presentation. The booklet demonstrates understanding and application of existing building performance, refurbishments of buildings, maintenance, decay and temporary works. The presentation with supporting documentation demonstrates understanding and application of construction detailing through the generation of accurate detail drawing and material specification to a professional standard through practical skills of BIM and design data management. | ||||
