In groups of 7 students, the task is to design and manage a simple construction project in a way that
emphasises either COST, QUALITY or TIME, with a MEASURABLE success criteria.
The shortage of land and labour are familiar problems facing the modem construction industry. Conversely, the need for affordable housing and/or flexible commercial buildings are also issues which the construction industry in general has been struggling with for many years.

- 1) Establish a fictional Design-&-Build Company, with a NAME, clear ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE and ORGANISATIONAL TYPE.
- 2) Produce an advisory document highlighting the viability (or otherwise) of executing a building project based around the adaptive re-use of multiple Shipping Containers in place of traditional building components. The Container sizes should be 1 0 ft. 20 ft. and 40 ft. units.
- 3) Choose between Industrial, Commercial, Institutional or Residential usage for the project, advising on the pros and cons of the choice made.
- 4) The client shall propose a site for the project, which is a REAL site.
- 5) Identify the market segment / population demographic that the project will most likely cater to.
- 6) Perform a cost and/or viability comparison between the proposal and a "standard" type of building catering to the same market segment.
- 7) Produce a SWOT Analysis, Success Criteria, Work Breakdown Structure, simple GANTT chart documenting the timeline of your project; Risk Analysis, Maintenance proposal.
- 8) Produce relevant 2D & 3D drawings to explain the project.
- 9) Ensure that the running cost of the finished project is lower than that of a "standard" building.
- 10) Provide 2 suitable case studies for the project.
- Design Analysis, picking up issues of PROGRAMME VIABILITY, DESIGN SUITABILITY and MAINTENANCE STRATEGY specifically related to your design. (Note: This is to be in essay format.).
- Risk Analysis and Mitigation Strategy (to achieve an identified SUCCESS CRITERIA and project deliverables. This must be in a TABLE FORMAT, AND should be from a CLIENT’S POINT OF VIEW).
- Gantt Chart (showing overall construction strategy and possible critical path, plotted against time. This chart will highlight PROJECT DELIVERABLES and BIM strategies.
In the sharply escalating cost of buildings explore and propose the means of providing
affordable business premises or housing.
