THIS IS HOW WE BUILD - INTEGRATED DESIGN

Welcome to part 3 of 6 of the "THIS IS HOW WE BUILD" training modules!

CLICK HERE to go back to the INTEGRATED DESIGN - Training Module Webpage

These modules are designed to be completed as a whole for continued professional practitioner points and certification; or individually to test your knowledge on a particular subject.

If completing the entire This is How We Build series, each module will take you through different stages of a building, from inception through to end of life.

This third module delves into the concept of integrated design. Why early stakeholder engagement is so important.

Question Title

* 1. What does Integrated Design refer to?

The Integrated Design Process

The design team and the build team working together at early design stages

Multi-party engagement at design stages of a project

Multiple parties from the design team working together

Question Title

* 2. What defines the traditional design process?

The design is largely completed before contractors are engaged for construction

Contractors, designers, and clients share equal responsibility throughout the build

All stakeholders collaborate together from the beginning of the project

Construction begins before the design process is completed

Question Title

* 3. What are some downsides to using the traditional design model?

There is an increased risk around knowing the total cost prior to committing to build

There’s no single point of responsibility for design and construction. Design risk rests with the client and construction risk with the contractor. This can lead to difficulties later, in deciding who’s responsible for defects, eg whether they result from design error or poor workmanship

Price certainty relies on the completeness and accuracy of the client's design documentation. Errors or omissions in the design will lead to variations and extra cost to the client

The separation of the design and construction process reduces the opportunity for the design and construction teams to work together to optimise the design from a construction perspective, eg methods of construction, minimising waste, and reducing health and safety risks

All of the above

Question Title

* 4. Have you ever been involved in a building project that utilised the traditional design model? If so, can you describe any downsides you noticed on any of the projects because of it?

Question Title

* 5. According to SBN's Integrated Design Process in the Built Environment guidelines, IDP refers to a collaborative approach to design. It involves all relevant parties working together from the very beginning of a project.

What are the three key principles?

Early contractor engagement, detailed documentation, and flexible design changes

Shared project risk, flexible deliverables, and linear planning

Stakeholder consultation, rapid approvals, and construction-led decision making

Purposeful collaboration from the start, a holistic view, and flexibility and iterations

Question Title

* 6. What does ECI stand for?

Efficient Collaboration Index

Early Contractor Involvement

Early Construction Initiative

Engaging Contractor Initiative

Question Title

* 7. Design & Build (D&B) is a procurement method in which the contractor takes responsibility for the design of the works. Qualified designers/engineers are engaged directly by the main contractor and prepare the design.

True

False

Question Title

* 8. The Alliance Delivery Model was first established in North America and later brought to New Zealand and Australia

True

False

Question Title

* 9. Which of the following projects utilised the Alliance Model?

Cook Brother Constructions Queenstown Sports Facility "The Mill"

Gisborne’s Eastland Port Wharf 7 Rebuild

Dunedin Hospital Redevelopment Project

Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team (SCIRT)

Question Title

* 10. On the Integrated Design website we mention the Integrated Design Process (IDP), Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), Design and Build, Alliance Delivery Model, and Building Information Modelling (BIM).

Have you ever been involved on a project that utilised any of these? If so, can you tell us which ones and if you found any positive or negative outcomes from using them?
