Introduction
This assignment, construct the five storey building & need to achieve the highest
specification in South of England. It involves a lot of stages while constructing the building.
This is the difficult process which may be further divided & completed in several stages &
each of the stages will involve the lots of involvement of the client, engineer, architecture,
contractor, worker & project manager.
The project of constructing the five storeys building required & produces the information at
each stage of the completion that has to use & stored efficiently to accomplish the
construction project within the time & accuracy. The generated information will be in the
configuration of schedule time, risk assessment & generation of cost, etc. At each stage of
construction, the data will grow continuously. And the involved participants of the project of
construction will associate with each other. As each one has the work that separates to do &
the work will do after only. Therefore, all participants have to conjunct to accomplish the
work with the best quality.
This assignment will develop plan for the project, explain the construction information, their
uses & compare them, prepare the schedule of the work, prepare the BOQ, relate it with the
construction specification, scan the errors, correct the errors by using standard notation, list
the various participants & their conjunction and relation & compare the BIM & CAD roles in
the information of 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 information of construction includes the four sections:
 Project description: It will include the programmes & project details with the key
dates of the construction of five storey building, the time allocated for the
appointment among the principal contractor & the command to start the work on the
site, the location & extent of the previous plans & records, details for the designer
principal, designers, other consultant & clients (Kerosuo et al. 2015).
 Planning of the client & requirement of management: For the management &
planning of the project like time & resources will be allocated at during each level &
arrangements to make sure the co-operation among the holders of duty & work that is
coordinated. It includes the organization & structure, procedures of emergency,
precautions for fire & requirements of authorization & permits on the site of
construction.
 Safety & health hazards for the sites: It includes the utilizing of adjacent land, fire
damage, and shrinkage of ground, access, boundaries that contain temporary access,
modification in the previous structure that contain the strength and weakness of the
building, any problems related with the equipment’s & plants in surrounding
information of health & safety that contain the previous design, as-built &
construction drawings.
 Safety & health file: It contains the file which will give to the client for future
management of health & safety & this serve to provide the guidance for the provision
of the consistent information for building the five storeys (Gledson, 2016).

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?
1) Fire resistive: Type 1
The type 1 structure having high rises & they will stoutest all the types of construction
when it is exposed to the fire. It is defined for the building that is tall 75 feet but some
of the agencies have an amendment for the building that is tall 35-55 feet. This
structure will use the protected steel & concrete for the construction with the material
like fire resistant.
2) Non-combustible : Type2
The construction of type 2 is mostly found in the remodels of the commercial
structure & for new buildings. The type 2 will suspect the fire in the new structure of
commercial. The roofs & wall are non-combustible constructed (Lu, 2016).
3) Ordinary: Type 3
The building of type 3 may be old & new construction & will have the walls & wood
roof, non-combustible. The older construction of the building will contain the
conventionally roof framed & unreinforced masonry as in new it has a system of the
lightweight roof by the tilt slab.
4) Heavy timber: Type 4
The construction of type 4 mostly found in a building that is older & will use the
lumber of large dimension for the interior element & structural members. This type of
building will handle the condition of fire.

5) Wood framed: Type 5
The construction in type 5 is mostly in modern homes. The roofs & walls are
constructing by the combustible material that is wood. The rooftops are the tile
ceramic & asphalt shingles that are placed over the OSB & trusses of light weighted.
The type 1that is fire resistive will be used for the present scenario as it is utilized for
identifying the height alone & it is familiar with the system that is encounter
(Eastman, 2018).

suitability in specific contexts.

d) Justify the use of specific types of construction information in Task 1 &
Task 2 in support of the project.
The information of construction will fit in the two for the project of constructing the
five storey building:
a) Non-combustible: It is type 2, as it is mostly in new buildings & again model of
the structure of commercial. In this type of structure, the walls & roof is made
with the non-combustible material. The top of the roof is a shield with the
concrete of light weighted, insulated membrane & foam. Due to the construction
of new buildings will contain the system for suppression & up for code. As the

roof is metal will by the heat & may result in collapse mostly for the large
buildings.
b) Fire resistive: this type will utilize for the building having the feet 75 & it will
utilize the steel & concrete & the mixture for the designed to handle the building.
It will maintain an excellent relationship with the worker of maintained. The
system that is related to the fire & fire protection in the building is extraordinary.
LO3 Interpret different types of construction information in order to
explain a construction project
a) Relate a set of construction drawings to a specification.
There are three specifications of the information:
1) Specification of performance
The marked requirements that are needed for installation are function. More focus
on the result & completion of the project. This serves the flexibility of a contractor
in the building project. But it also limits the construction authorities that preserve
the configuration to regulate the construction (Li & Liu, 2015).
2) Specification of prescriptive
It involves the explanation of the specified material required in the process of
installation of the construction. It contains completion procedures (how to
calculate & install), general provision (need codes and standards) & needed
product (that depends on the stipulation of structure & performance).
3) Specification of proprietary
It needs one construction specifications, as it is normally using the part of the
building construction to attain the performance. It is of two types, closed that
involve revolutionary product & system & manufacture and open involve (the
architecture does not include the name of the products & the supplier) (Schwabe,
2018).
b) Evaluate construction drawings and details to identify errors and clashes.
There are several types of drawing can be utilized at the process of constructing &
designing of the buildings that are frequently prepared by various disciplines or
working separately. There are various general errors & clashes that be made at the
time of interpreting & producing a drawing. It is necessary to care & attention for
