Introduction
This assignment prepares the conceptual design & implementation by constructing the five
storey building. This frame produces the series of the structure to meet the high specification
that is intended to construct in the south of England around the Airport of Heathrow. It
includes various constructions for the context of wide project, develop the plan, drawing,
schedules & specification for the project of construction, interprets the several information of
construction to examine the project & assess the professional construction in the information
construction.

LO1. Evaluate different types of construction information in the context of
diverse project types.
a) Explain the use of construction information in the context of the given
project.
The use of the construction information is to provide the suggest principal to design
team & contractor.
 During the development of construction, the information will provide an
emphasis on the safety & health consideration of design that taken under the
command of principal designer.
 This plays a precious role in the documentation of tender. It allows the
principal contractor to be aware of the safety, health & requirement of the
welfare of the project.
 The construction information before starting will not consist of the general
techniques of construction (Kahle, 2017).

b) Describe the different types of construction information and their uses.
What type of construction information will you use for the current
scenario and justify their use?
There is three of construction information:

1) Performance specification
Address the requirements that are operational for the installation. It will
emphasize on the outcome of the construction. This approach provides the
flexibility to the general contractor in the construction. It also restricts the
authority that maintains the architecture to underway construction.
2) Prescriptive specification
It includes the description of material specific should be used the construction of
the installation. It has three components are; required product (it based on
structural stipulation& performance), general provision (require standards &
codes) & execution procedures (how to measures & install its effectiveness)
3) Proprietary specification
Only required one specification for the construction, it is generally utilized the
portion of the construction that need the performance that one may achieve.
Open (architecture does not have a product or the supplier name) & Closed
(system, manufacture & product have no alternative).
The prescriptive specification of construction information is used for building 5
storey frame building of office with high specification (Kim, and Cho, 2015).
c) Compare different types of construction information to identify their
suitability in specific contexts.
Table 1: comparison
Private construction
 It is controlled by
private parties.
 It includes the
association of non-
profit, business
entities & hospitals.
 It has categories
like commercial,
residential &
industrial
construction.
Federal construction
 It is almost the
same as the state
project as very
complex, simple &
traditional.
 It differs in who
control & own the
project.
 The work comes in
federal is the
interstate as the
State construction
 It refers to to the
project from the
governing board,
board & city, etc.
 It evaluates the
fund of government
in construction that
is not related to
federal.

state manage the
highways.
Lo2. Develop construction drawings, details, schedules and specifications in
support of a given construction project.
b) Produce an outline bill of quantities.

c) Compose a schedule of works.
Figure 2: schedule of work
d) Justify the use of specific types of construction information in Task 1 &
Task 2 in support of the project
The construction information uses the prescriptive specification as it utilizes the
components like general provision, the product needed & execution of the process to
describe the specify construction of the five storey construction of building through
the concrete & steel near to the Airport.
Lo3. Interpret different types of construction information in order to
explain a construction project
a) Relate a set of construction drawings to a specification.
It will vary according to the stages of the design as starting from the specification of
performance that needs to carry out the work of design & specification of perspective
will accomplish the design. The specification of prescriptive is when the tendered
contract with the client about the product & specification of performance will provide
an effective procedure for work & scope. The specifications are straight forward &
building types & specification of prescriptive is complex for building.

b) Evaluate construction drawings and details to identify errors and clashes.
Identify the clashes & errors are:
1) Inadequate design of structural – The concrete will be exposed to large stress than
may strain & handle to increase the concrete.
Prevention- reviews the calculations carefully.
2) Poor detail of design – high-stress concentration in the localized structure.
Prevention- overview the estimations (Dosumu et al, 2017).
c) Critique a body of construction information, identifying errors and
discrepancies.
Bodies in information construction include:
 Architects
 Engineers
 Consultant
Errors & discrepancies
 Information is inconsistent.
 Reproduction is poor
 Symbols are incorrect.
 Inconsistent scales for building the five storeys.
 Components are missing (Bekr, 2015).
d) Propose corrections to construction drawings and specifications using
industry standard forms of notation.
These are some of the conventions, so communication among clients to eliminate the
mistakes in the drawing:
1) Decimal marker: It on the baseline for standard point of the decimal. Required to
use of the comma on baseline like 1,678.
2) The marker of thousand: to eliminate the marker of continental decimal, not
require the comma. If there will be 4 digits & space among them then the first &
other will not desirable like 14 000, 1400.
3) Notation: the size of the components must be expressed properly & not combined
with the units. For eliminating the mistakes the similar units are needed to use.

Lo4. Assess ways in which construction professionals collaborate in the
production of construction information.
a) Assess the types of information produced by different participants in a
construction project. Using the current project as a case study.
Table 3: project participants table
Client Consultant Contractor
It is the key to the entire
construction. At the time
of design & construction,
the client will directly or
indirectly monitor the
progress, objectives of
quality, time & cost for the
design. The construction
will look for several
clients & it can be
classified as the private
(new buildings etc.) &
public (like boards of
British rail & air transport)
sector.
It is the design team for
designing the basic
structure & it is
responsible for the
integration of design. Two
comes under this are
architecture (that design to
meet the needs,
interpreting & formulating
the requirements of
clients) & Engineer (that
will advise the architecture
about the structural issues
like feasibility, suitability
& stability).
The aspect of the
production for the project
of construction is done by
the contractor, it will
organize the resources for
manufacturing. It allows
the maintenance & repair
of services that are needed
by the client, & controlling
the execution of the
construction project & the
program & cost.
b) Examine the relationship between different bodies of information and how
they work in conjunction.
The effective work among bodies in a construction project is by communication
between the staffs, begin the education as to how to protect & stay shielded. So it
needs to be aware of the regulation of construction & codes of building to specify. As
it acts differently in a different stage like territory & alters over time (Simonsen,
2017).
 Foster the learning & creativity
 By developing the trust
 By teaching the skill for resolution the conflicts

 Set the construction rule among team
 Establishes the leadership.

c) Compare the roles of CAD and BIM in the collaborative production of
construction information.
Table 4: Comparison table
CAD BIM
 It is Computer Aided Design.
 It utilizes the computer for
building the design, permits the
engineer to develop good quality
products.
 It is utilized by the engineer for
mechanical design & assemblies
of electrical.
 It will evolve more in the future.
 It is Building information
modeling.
 It is the software that will apply to
the concept of CAD for the
building design & developing
models.
 It is utilized for the building
manufacturing & designing.
 It will become more optimized
(Cheng, and Lu, 2015).

Conclusion
As concluded from the above assignment, after designing the conceptual design. The frame is
made for meeting the specification, by using the construction information, describing
different types of information construction, outline the BOQ, schedule work, discussing the
bodies & their conjunction of work, discuss error & issues and ways to correct them and
compare the BIM & CAD.
