Plan of Work2007

CIC produced a standard plan of work structure across buildings and infrastructure in the UKRIBA Plan of Work 2013 is based upon these stages (Note slight different names and colours between the two, this is as RIBA PoW is geared towards architecture)Sets the scene, more efficient design processes, suitable for all size and type of projects, all procurement routes, for use by while project team* stages, and 8 task barsDefined terms and project strategies

Information delivery cycle

The Information Delivery Cycle provides a logical framework for the production of pertinent information at discrete stages of the whole building lifecycle.

7

Information delivery cycle

Information increases over time

Information delivery cycle

Information model is a combination of documents, non-graphical and graphical information

Levels of Definition

Geometry model

Specification and guidance

Levels of Definition Graphical data

Levels of Definition Non-graphical data PerformanceAccuracy tolerances (for structural performance)Design submittals requirements (applicable where there is a contractor-designed component)Working lifeFire performanceStructural performance impact, M&E services, vehicularHeat loss (U value)

ExecutionWorkmanship during adverse weatherCleanlinessReference and sample panel requirements (to monitor workmanship, materials quality)Specific product installation requirements (e.g. installing cavity wall insulation, installing lintels, block bonding new walls to existing, laying frogged bricks in mortar)

Level of Detail

Level of Information

14

Level of Information - Concept design

Example: Partition systemTo surround commercial kitchen area. Must have appropriate fire rating, structural strength suitable for holding kitchen units and acoustics to provide a comfortable environment for the adjacent restaurant.

A simple description outlining design intent.Example: surveillance systemTo have sufficient coverage of cycle storage and principal office entrance.

15

Level of Information - Developed design

The specified overall performance of the deliverableExample: Partition systemStructural performance: Medium duty to BS 5234-2.Fire performance: 30 minutes to BS 476.Acoustic performance: 50db.

Example: surveillance systemCCTV Zone: Property protection and surveillance, capable of identification.Standards: In accordance with BS 8418.Format: Digital.Remote monitoring: Required.Integration with other alarm and security systems: Access control system.

16

Level of Information - Technical Design

The prescribed generic products that meet the desired overall performance requirementsExample: Partition systemInner lining: Paper-lined plasterboard to BS-EN 520 Type A. 2 x 12.5 mm.Insulation: Mineral wool, A1 Euroclass fire rating and 80% recycled content minimum. 50 mm thick.Outer lining: Paper-lined plasterboard to BS-EN 520 Type A. 2 x 12.5 mm.

Example: surveillance systemSurveillance equipment: Bullet cameras.Camera housing: External.Data storage: Digital video recorder.

17

Level of Information - Construction

The prescribed manufacturer products that meet the generic product specification.Example: Partition systemInner lining: British Gypsum WallBoard. 2 x 12.5 mm.Insulation: Saint-Gobain Isover APR 1200. 50 mm thick.Outer lining: British Gypsum WallBoard. 2 x 12.5 mm.

Example: surveillance systemSurveillance equipment: Sony SNC-CH260 External Bullet Camera.Camera Housing: UNI-ORBC6 outdoor housing.Data storage: NSR-500 Network Surveillance Recorder

18

Level of Information - Handover and closeout

The key properties to be transferred into an asset database.Example: Partition systemBarcode: RFID Code.Expected life: 25 years.O&M ManualWarranty start date: 2016-06-28T23:59:59.

Example: surveillance systemBarcode: RFID Code.Expected life: 25 years.O&M ManualWarranty start date: 2016-06-28T23:59:59.

NBS Create

NBS Create

Create is an additive process. Develops with the projectCan be a mix of descriptive and prescriptive specificationStart much earlier in time line

20

NBS Create PrinciplesFlexibleCan be used from early in the design processDevelops with the project

NBS Create Classification Based on Uniclass 2Create works with Systems and Products

What is a system?A set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network; a complex whole(2016) Oxford Dictionary

NBS Create ClausesSystem Outline

System Performance Clauses

Product Clauses (Manufacturer/Custom/Generic)

Execution Clauses

Completion Clauses

Facilities Management Clauses

Linking ClausesNBS Create allows you to link and re-use clauses from elsewhere in the project:

Fibre-reinforced gypsum boardGypsum board partition systemGypsum board wall lining system

NBS Create - OnlineLicence held on our serversLog in from any machine with NBS Create installedContent online automatically updateNBS Plus online up to date manufacturer information

The original NBS specification output in 1973 was in paper book form. But even then, this contained a diagram showing that the specification should be linked to the drawings through references, to quantities and costs, and to a library of technical standards and manufacturers information.
