MMP219 – Sustainable Property Construction - Trimester 1, 2024. Assessment 2. Sustainable Construction Working Docs and Client Report. ‘Bimbimbie Project’. Individual Assignment Due Date and Time: Friday, May 31, 2024, by 8:00 pm (AEST) Percentage Of Final Grade: 60 % Word Count: 2’500 words min and max (+/- 10%) Page Number Limit: 30 pages For this assessment task, you will be working on a sustainable house construction project. The house is already built, though the client (your audience) has some requests and queries that they are asking you to respond to in a written report. Your industry style report (response) will include working (industry style) documents. The client’s queries relate to both the level of sustainability of the project, and the building’s construction process, specifications, and costs (which are the core 2 topics of this unit). Note: as this assignment is worth 60% of the unit’s marks, the expectation is that a commensurate amount of time and effort is allocated to it. Notes: Tips: read this Doc in full before making a start on your report, there are helpful notes below. Seminar working docs: seminars 8, 9, 10 and 11 include student reports on different aspects of sustainable construction and will help compile info that’s needed for this assessment. Five Tasks: 1. Sustainability. (14 marks). 1.1. (6/14 marks). Prepare a sustainability and energy-efficiency (EE) assessment (report and table) of: (a) the building, (b) site, and (c) The Cape Estate, by using one of the established rating tools that are accepted in Australia (Greenstar, etc.). Note: this is not a casual discussion, your house/site/estate assessment must be based on an official rating tool/ method and its categories. (Sub-note: an official Greenstar report is done online and costs money, but our version is simpler, we just create a table in a Word Doc, then prepare and fill several columns in it, following the rating tools guidelines.) 1.2. (2/14 marks). Discussion about your assessment/rating (from 1.1 above). How did you reach your rating? What were the key factors considered and evaluated? 1.3. (1/14 marks). How does that rating/result (of 1.1) compare to the building (house/land) of your Assignment-1 report? List key differences and give an overall observation.

MMP219. Sustainable Property Construction. Assessment 2. Tri-1 2024 1.4. (4/14 marks). Solar Passive design (also called MOTIIVES) versus ‘Passive House’. Listen to Wade’s podcast (in week 8, part 8.7) to hear about Passive Houses. Describe how Bimbimbie would be different it was built to passive house principles. Use MOTIIVES to itemise your discussion/differences. 1.5 (1/14 marks). Did you identify any missed ‘green’ opportunities in the Bimbimbie project? and if so, could they now be retrofitted? (Checking the Instagram account is helpful for this task.) ---------- General note: when writing about sustainability , be sure to consider broader sustainability aspects (such as with Greenstar), in addition to energy-efficiency, (such as with Nathers.) 2. Construction/construction methods of Bimbimbie. (16 marks.) 2.1. (2/16 marks). Begin your report with a ‘site & planning overview and site map’. See the long image at the bottom of this report, it shows a template of how to do this task 2.1. Comment on the site; does the site and moderate climate seem suited to a sustainable house? 2.2. (6/16 marks). Describe the key construction/construction methods and elements of the building project. Include images, technical descriptions (see images below for examples), and a materials list of key construction elements, the slab, walls, roof, etc. Some of these tasks can be merged. Draw a ‘force’ line for one section of the house. Note : the Wilke textbook will be very useful for this task 2.2, including with help to identify and present (draw) the construction method details (such as wall frame images). Note : the Instagram account for the build also contains helpful information: #bimbimbie_project. Example:

MMP219. Sustainable Property Construction. Assessment 2. Tri-1 2024 Example: 2.3. (4/16 marks). Outline the construction process that was undertaken for the full extent of the build. Including a timeline. Re the timeline: use a Gantt chart or similar. Timeline is to represent a typical construction in Australian residential construction. The timeline task is really to show what a typical timeline looks like for building a house in Aus, not necessarily the Bimbimbie timeline. Considering it usually takes 9-12 months to build a house, but twice as long in Covid (2021/2022) when Bimbimbie was built, show the/a ‘usual’ timeline. A Gantt chart showing the process from land selection/purchase to CoO would be ideal to see here. Note: the Instagram posts of Bimbimbie are not correctly timestamped (as we were often in Covid lock-down and couldn't visit the site) but they do help to show the sequence of events to cross-check with your Gantt chart. ) 2.4. (2/16 marks.) Estimate how many linear meters of framing timber (in walls, roof etc) was used in the garage, including the walls shared with the 4 th bedroom and storerooms. You may like to present you work in a similar way to this image below: 2.5. (2/16 marks). Over 18 months has passed since the Vic Ash cladding was installed. It’s time to re-oil it. Calculate amount (in litres) and the total cost to re-oil the external timber on the house. Cost to include the scaffolding, equipment, labour and oil (the material.)

MMP219. Sustainable Property Construction. Assessment 2. Tri-1 2024 3. Bill-of-Materials (BoM) and Costs. (18 marks). Their queries are: 3.1. (3/18 marks). What are the 3 key materials used in the project, by volume? Calculate either by linear meter, m2 or m3. (Ensure the unit of measurement matches to the material type.) 3.2. (2/18 marks). The client would like to know if there are any items of the BoM (of the project) that they could have done themselves, to try to save on costs. (Note: the client has no building qualifications or trades.) Identify and list/explain 3 opportunities. 3.3. (3/18 marks). Build cost: calculate the approximate cost per meter/2 of this build and how you reached that figure. Costing for either 2021, 2022, 2023 or 2024 is OK, but whichever is chosen, then make an adjustment (for the total cost), for time. I.e.: put a note to say, for example, "these are 2023 costs", and then say, "the equivalent in 2021 (when the house was built) is to be X% more/less, which is $ more/less.” * Cost note: How to enhance an answer about costs. For example, a question asks about the cost per m2 of the build/construction, and yes, this could be easily answered by (say) saying it's $999 per m2. There is an opportunity though to make the answer more valuable, with a few considerations such as: mention GST (or no GST,) mention AUD and a date, mention the industry average for a comparable, mention the State (as costs vary between State,) is it ‘fixed’ or ‘cost+’ explain how you arrived at that figure, and any other info that could also be of interest, such as; how that amount would reflected in a standard payment schedule, and/or whether those prices are 'all inclusive'. We are looking to impress a reader and convince them your figure is sound, so we should look for ways to do that. 3.4. (2/18 marks). What would Bimbimbie cost to build as a Prefabricated (factory built) house. Calculate the cost per m2 and overall (for the same quality level.) Mention the name of a likely builder and what transport cost would be (to Cape Paterson). 3.5 (3/18 marks). If built prefab, should the Passive house principles be followed? instead of MOTIIVES? If so, explain why? 3.6. (2/18 marks). What was the builder’s (estimated) margin/profit for Bimbimbie? based on industry averages. Is this build considered to be a ‘volume’, bespoke, or ‘other’ built type (in terms of difficulty and cost.) 3.7. (3/18 marks). List key Residential Building Laws, Codes, Regulations, DRC guidelines that apply to this build. (Check the week 8 seminar. Check NCC, RICS, etc.) 4. Design. Client queries about design changes. (8 marks).

MMP219. Sustainable Property Construction. Assessment 2. Tri-1 2024 4.1. (5/8 marks). The client would like to ‘future-proof’ Bimbimbie so that it can be suited to (adapted to) more uses in future. They would like this single dwelling to be made into a dual- family/ dual-living space, as much as possible. Re-draw the floorplan to best allow separate living for two families, each family of two adults + 1 child. (Revise the original plans to show your suggested design change.) Zoning should be considered here. Estimate the cost to make that change. 4.2 (3/8 marks). Variations. Looking at the finished build, we can see that some (‘true’) variations were made during construction. Identify at least 3 of them, and state why they most likely were done. (Note: look for 4 other variations, not those mentioned in the BoM. The best way to do this would be to look at the house plans/drawings, and then at the images of the finished house and find the differences. Variations listed need to be different to these rows of the BoM: 53/54/61/62/93/94/164/165/189/192/234.) 5. Executive Summary. (4 marks). A good summary of the report and its findings. Professional looking with a small table included. Notes: There no need to visit the actual project site as you can do this remotely. Information about the project/build is provided in the unit-site content (example: 4.4, 7.5, 8.4), in the assessment resources, and on the Instagram site #bimbimbie_project Report writing hints: A correct Executive Summary is needed. See task 5 above. Concise writing and condense pages are encouraged (i.e.: put a lot on each page.) Use industry templates as a guide. Tables, graphs, images, etc will add a lot of value to your report. Word-count: NOT included are: Cover-Page, Exec-Summary, TOCs, refs, appendices, Seminar Working Docs. Learning materials: The Bill of Materials (BoM) for the property can be found in the assessment resources. The design plans (drawings) for the property can be found in the assessment resources. In the weekly content you will find the images and videos of the property. See 4.4. Construction notes: some of them are supplied via Instagram: #Bimbimbie_project. An actual scale model of the house is available to see in class. Library: check the library for many resources, including the Rawlinson’s cost guide. To find the Cordells cost guide: Go into the Library Search, then click on 'Resources Guide', Click on SEBE (Science Engineering Built-Environment), Click on 'Construction Management', Click on 'Construction Cost Guides’, and you should see it there.

MMP219. Sustainable Property Construction. Assessment 2. Tri-1 2024 How to write in a ‘technical way’: (and be specific to Bimbimbie): An example: "Bimbimbie's foundations are a waffle slab, poured on-site, reinforced with steel mesh and with strip footings under all supporting walls, including the perimeter. It has a depth under the floors of xx mm, though is deeper, at xxx mm, under the walls. The waffle slab utilizes plastic pods, also called domes, as part of the formwork, so as not to have excess concrete in the slab. The perimeter formwork is timber sheeting, left in place until the slab has dried. The pods are spaced xxx mm apart, per the engineered report/diagram, and have a depth of xxx mm. By employing this design, on a flat site, with stable soil, the waffle slab achieves good strength, usable span lengths and structural efficiency while maintaining adequate load-bearing capacity. It's then finished with a burnishing process. Calculations: A ‘how-to’ guide: the example here is the roof trusses. Keeping in mind that the house has different widths in different places, check the width(s) of the house and then count/estimate how many roof trusses are in that section of roof, then multiply that house width (or bottom chord length) by 3.5. Doing that accounts for the fact that the angled top chord and the truss-webs would be longer than the bottom chord length. So, if, for example the house has three different widths, you would do this: Section 1: (length of bottom cord x 3.5) x number of trusses in that section + Section 2: (length of bottom cord x 3.5) x number of trusses in that section + Section 3: (length of bottom cord x 3.5) x number of trusses in that section, + (LENGTH of the house x 3) for the spacing bars = total linear timber length in the roof. Learning Outcomes This task allows you to demonstrate achievement towards the unit learning outcomes. The ULOs are aligned with specific graduate learning outcomes – that is, the skills and knowledge graduates are expected to have upon completion of their studies – and this assessment task is an important tool in determining achievement of those outcomes. It is good practice to familiarise yourself with the ULOs and GLOs as they provide guidance on the knowledge, understanding and skills you’re expected to demonstrate upon completion of the unit. In this way they can be used to guide your study. Table for learning outcomes for A-2:
