Study Notes
Electrical Engineering Design Development
- Electrical engineers resolve design issues related to electrical systems during the design development phase
- Issues include anticipating electrical load and allowances for future expansion, incoming electrical services, power and voltage distribution, locations and areas of electrical closets, communications rooms, bus duct risers, and conduit embedding
- Location and preliminary sizing of structured cabling infrastructure is also addressed
- Lighting fixture selection, ceiling systems, mechanical coordination for energy efficiency and telecommunications, data systems, fire alarm systems, public address systems, intercom and security are also considered
Landscape Architecture Design Development
- Landscape architects are involved in the schematic design stage to provide conceptual thoughts on hard and soft landscaping
- They prepare landscape concept plans, sometimes as part of the schematic design presentation
- Landscape architects require the following information to carry out design development documents:
- selected schematic design at building and site levels
- briefing on architectural design approach and operational and aesthetic goals
- site above-ground and below-ground utility locations
- pedestrian and vehicular access points, including main and secondary entrances, exits, loading and service bays, vehicular circulation, and parking
- viewing cones, privacy needs, and visual impact information
- programmatic requirements for urban design elements, such as bicycle racks, benches, and gathering spaces
- specialized items like sculptures, monuments, gazeboes, screens, and decorative walls
- site lighting requirements
- other programmatic or site requirements requested by the client or required by authorities
- Landscape architects prepare drawings in collaboration with the architect, including:
- site plans indicating vehicular and pedestrian pathways
- layout of hard surfaces and structures defining dimensions and materials
- layout of planting areas identifying proposed, existing, and transplanted plant material
- detailed plant list specifying plants by botanical name, common name, quantity, and sizes
- concept elevations illustrating design ideas for architectural structures
- grading plan (in collaboration with the architect and civil engineer)
- drainage plan (in collaboration with the architect and civil engineer)
- site lighting plan
- development permit application documents (if applicable)
- perspective drawings and illustrations
Project Management
- The architect should reinforce the importance of the coordinating consultant role to the client
- Development permits and planning approvals are typically obtained after schematic design or during design development
- A building permit application is usually submitted upon completion of construction documents
- The architect or a specialist cost consultant should prepare an updated estimate of the construction cost during design development
- Design development documents are used for client review and approval, marketing, reviews with authorities and stakeholders, subconsultant input and coordination, construction cost estimates, and the basis for construction document preparation
- The architect should review with the client the various stakeholder groups who may have access to the design report to prevent potential risks
- A preliminary analysis of the proposed design with respect to compliance with the appropriate provincial building code is recommended and should be included in the design report
- The architect should provide a design project management report that outlines the design project progress, challenges, work complete, and remaining work
