SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 Page 4 of 21 Assessment Task 2 – Group Case Study Analysis Report and Presentation 40 Marks PURPOSE OF ASSIGNMENT The intention of this group case study analysis report is for students to understand the many different ways in which residential buildings are constructed, and the reasoning behind choosing one method over another. This assessment task addresses the following unit learning outcomes for this unit; • ULO1: Identify structural principles and apply them to construction systems and processes used in residential buildings. • ULO2: Read, interpret and critique residential construction drawings with particular reference to regulatory compliance requirements. • ULO3: Analyse construction problems and communicate solutions through sketches and drawings. • ULO4: Appreciate the role of sustainable principles in the construction of residential and small scale buildings. Team formation: Teams should form in the first week • Each group consists of up to five students • Where possible, all team members should attend the same seminar session • Group formation should consider individual and collective skill sets – where possible, try to include at least one architect and one construction manager within your group • There is a range of materials available through the Unit Cloud site (under Assessment Resources) to aid in developing team capability. Feedback Fruits Teamwork skills are evaluated in this unit. In undertaking your team project you are required to demonstrate these skills and meet the minimum standard. Your teamwork skills will be assessed using SEBE's Self and Peer Review of Teamwork Skills Process (Feedback Fruits). Note: • Your team's submission will generate a team mark • Your individualised mark is based on the teamwork skills you demonstrate • Two submissions – interim report period and final report period • You gain no marks by completing the review process • However, you will lose 25% of your group mark if you do not complete the final review Please see the Unit Cloud site Assessment Resources tab on how to access and complete this activity. You will also find there more detailed information on how this process individualises your mark. The infographic below depicts the process.

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 T2-2022 Page 5 of 21 This unit requires two teamwork evaluations (Feedback fruits): Self and peer reviews (Feedback Fruits) x 2: • The first is completed at time of submitting the interim report - Formative. This is not graded and has no influence upon your final marks. It gives you the opportunity to use the tool and reflect on you and your group’s performance. • The second is completed at submission of final report and presentation. - This one must be completed or marks will be lost.

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 Page 6 of 21 PROJECT BRIEF Group Case Study Analysis Report and Presentation Your assignment submission will consist of three submissions: • The Interim Report: This includes a preliminary section with a 'team charter,' a main section identifying the two homes you have selected to compare, and confirmation that you have the required plan sets • The Final Report: This is the comparative analysis of the two homes • The Presentation: This may be a live or recorded (Zoom or PowerPoint) presentation depending upon circumstances (Covid or the like) Part 1. The Interim Report: Team Charter and Building Selection (10 Marks) Word Count: Approximately 1500 words excluding any graphical content Format: A4 PDF submitted to Unit Cloud Site dropbox The Interim Report should have a front ‘cover’ page that includes: • Report title • Group No. • Names and ID numbers of group members This is followed by a brief introduction outlining the actions taken so far and a very brief overview (1/2 of one A4 page approx.) of the two selected buildings you will compare in the final submission. The Team Charter and the Building Selection then follow. The Team Charter: You are to create a contract between all group members identifying: 1. All duties and tasks 2. The person(s) responsible for undertaking each part 3. The timeline for progress to completion of all required actions including final submission times 4. The assignment submission times for all other units to which group members are committed This document serves as your working plan. It precisely allocates accountabilities, increasing the potential for successful performance by all members and the group as a whole. The Team Charter should be contained in about one A4 page (usually as a table).

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 T2-2022 Page 7 of 21 Building Selection (see following page – procuring plans) You are to select two domestic dwellings (stand-alone houses) for comparison: • A house design from a (local*) volume builder • A size comparable architectural or custom designed home You must choose houses for which you can gain access to drawings and information of sufficient standard in order to complete the assignment. Both buildings must exist. Do not select buildings that are idealised but not constructed. In writing up this section you will : • briefly described the two houses you have selected (main characteristics) • briefly describe the key identifiable differences between these two buildings (without doing a full comparative analysis). * Any builder or building firm that constructs homes in the Geelong/Melbourne area – or your own town if you live more regionally (e.g. Ballarat, Bendigo). Ongoing (Include the first few weeks in the Interim Report): You are to record the on-going group progress leading up to submission of the interim report. It is realistic to expect that circumstances, and therefore deliverables, will change. These changes and variations should be documented, along with on-going member contribution and performance. Procuring Plan Sets There are several volume builder and architecturally designed plan sets available on the CloudDeakin site for this unit (approximately 12 of each type). This offers 124 different comparison pairings. However, as a team you are encouraged to source your own plan sets where possible. These may be procured from local builders, designers and or architects and draftspeople whom you may know. Any addition to our ‘library’ of plan sets is beneficial. You will find a table in the unit site where you may nominate your selection. Any pairing may only be used once – i.e. every group is working with a different comparison set.

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 Page 8 of 21 Part 2. The Final Report: Comparative Case Study (20 Marks) Word Count (Part 2 only): Approximately 3500 words excluding any graphical content or Part 1 word count. Format: A4 PDF submitted to Unit Cloud Site dropbox The final report begins with Part 1 dealt with above. Note: Part 1 will not be reassessed: however, you should make changes to the introduction and the Team Charter describing the actions you have taken to complete the report. This is followed by the full comparative analysis. The Comparative Analysis In making your comparative analysis you will provide an overview of the parameters listed below, making comparisons which highlight both key similarities and differences. Site characteristics Such as but not limited to: • Locate both sites on annotated location maps and elevations: - orientation, plan, area, dimensions, landscape • Include immediate surroundings (approximately 40m radius). Focus on the following: • Neighbouring buildings • Utilities (power, water, gas) • Infrastructure (shared access, footpath, roads) Substructure, footings and floor system Such as but not limited to: • Document your observations and estimate of soil type (Class S, M, H1, H2, E) and/or the geological type (Tertiary, Volcanic, Quaternary, Alluvial) • Footing Types • Discuss the significance of different soil types in relation to the selection of type of footings; • Analyse the typical footing types for the selected houses. • Analysis of the type of floors/slabs for the selected residential buildings Wall structural system and enclosure Such as but not limited to: • Document your analysis of the type of framing system for the selected residential buildings. This should include the discussion of the significance of all the elements in the framing systems (lintels, studs, posts, beams, bracing, joists, rafters, trusses, and the like) • Document your analysis of the type of building enclosure for the selected residential buildings Roof framing system Such as but not limited to: • Discuss the difference between conventional roofs and truss roofs

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 T2-2022 Page 9 of 21 • Document your analysis of the type of roof system for the selected residential buildings Construction Methodologies Such as but not limited to: • Use a flow chart to explain the construction processes of each building • Outline the skill sets, materials, tools, equipment and plant (machinery) required for the construction of each building, identifying in which stage or part of the construction process that these items are used. Materials, Services, Common Defects, Sustainability - Energy Efficiency (Green) Strategies Evaluate each of the above parameters, commenting critically on the suitability of each with respect to the solutions each house has adopted, I.e.: • What are the cost, quality time, buildability implications? • How well do the solutions integrate with each other? • What are the implications for aesthetics, function and durability? • Overall, which project is more successful, and WHY? (If these criteria are not clear to you, you must seek clarification from your tutors.) Conclusion In concluding your report, you should identify which of the two projects is the more successful overall in your minds. You must provide a rationale for making this determination. For the final submission the following is required: • Original contract of duty and timeline allocations • Brief reflective summary of each group member experiences • Actual division of work undertaken, with brief explanation of any variation Graphics Inclusion of drawings and photos is encouraged, but only to the extent that they directly contribute to points being made in the text. As a guide, the final report should be around 5,000 words, or of about ten pages (including Part A). However, what is wanted is not length of prose or voluminous graphics, but rather succinct assessments of the above parameters. This should be augmented by reasoned judgments on the relative merits of each project. A good report will not only describe facts, but present critiques and recommendations on how the projects might be improved.

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 Page 10 of 21 C – PRESENTATION (10 Marks) Your presentation will summarize (verbally and visually) the major findings contained in your report This is a where you present to the ‘client’ your findings using your slides as a backdrop. The presentation is in one of two methods*: • A PowerPoint presentation of not more than 6 slides with voice over by each team member • A Zoom or MS Teams video recording – the file link being submitted on a Pdf or Word Document. All members must contribute visually and verbally (depending upon the above approach taken). The presentation should be of approximately 4 minutes duration in total: i.e., all presenters and slides must fit within this one, 4 minute, time period. The presentation should aim to be engaging, relevant and succinct. *The presentation may be conducted ‘live’ at the discretion of the Unit Chair. Assessment Task 3 - Individual Technology Portfolio 10 Marks PURPOSE OF ASSIGNMENT The portfolio helps enhance your understanding of construction concepts discussed in weekly classes through hands-on engagement of seminar vignettes. Participating in these seminar activities enables you to directly apply your understanding to the major group assignment. This assessment task addresses the following unit learning outcomes for this unit; • ULO1: Identify structural principles and apply them to construction systems and processes used in residential buildings. • ULO2: Read, interpret and critique residential construction drawings with particular reference to regulatory compliance requirements. • ULO3: Analyse construction problems and communicate solutions through sketches and drawings. ASSIGNMENT TASK Individual Technology Portfolio As an individual, you are required to attend (were possible), participate and engage in all seminars and produce a portfolio of activities that demonstrates that engagement.

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 T2-2022 Page 11 of 21 There are eight (8) vignettes/activities in total for weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 to form your technology portfolio which is required to be completed within PebblePad by week 11. Students are also required to include (within their portfolio) a short reflection (Approx. 150 words) on their experiences from engaging in the vignette tasks. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS • For each seminar print all required documentation and bring them to your seminar with any pens/pencils/scaled rulers/paper to complete the activity within the seminar session. • Present all your work in a neat, tidy and professional manner. • Seminar documentation will be available through CloudDeakin. FORMAT OF ASSIGNMENT The portfolio is to be compiled within PebblePad : • Your portfolio must be uploaded completed within PebblePad by week 11. & • Structured in the sequence that the vignettes take place (week 1 to 8) Note: Minimal marks will be awarded to submissions that simply replicate the solutions discussed in seminar sessions You should expand on the vignette by exploring how it aligns to your group’s project and or other construction projects you are familiar with.

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 Page 12 of 21 Assessment Task 4 - Applied structural solution task 40 Marks The intention of this individual report is to guide your knowledge development, and evaluate your understanding, of different domestic construction systems and methodologies. In particular, their implications upon architectural design and the management of a construction project: Notably, its ‘constructability’. For architects, this task focuses upon the implications of form upon structure, and structure upon form. For construction managers, it is the above, but with a greater focus upon the constructability of a given form (architects too, but they don’t have to physically build the form; construction managers must guide the process, so it is more in their focus). In completing the tasks (as CM or Archi’), be sure to keep the above in mind. Students must achieve a minimum score of 40% for this assessment to pass the unit. ASSIGNMENT TASK Word Count: Approximately 3,000 words Format: A4 PDF Note 1: There are two assessment tasks offered below. One for Architecture students, the other for Construction Management students. The scenario depicted is the same in each instance, however the perspective differs between the disciplines. In either case, you are to apply your knowledge of structural principles to exploring, developing, defending and or otherwise critiquing solutions to external wall elements. Note 2: To see the assignment submission box on the CloudDeakin Unit site, you must ‘enrol’ in the disciple group you align with (architecture or construction management; students doing the combined degree or completing this unit as an elective from another discipline may choose either one). The Scenario External wall elements and materials In the main group project you have been required to critique the merits of two different house designs: one designed by an architect or architectural firm; the other by a volume building group. In that critique process you will have reviewed (among other things) the external wall elements: their materials, arrangement and insulation; likewise, the glazing elements. In light of the above, depending upon the course/discipline you are undertaking (Architecture S342, Arch/CM D364 or Construction Management S346), please respond to one of the below question sets. D364 Combined degree students may choose either set (do not do both, do not mix and match).

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 T2-2022 Page 13 of 21 S346 Architecture (or D364 Arch/CM) students When designing for homes such as described in Assessment Task 2: 1. What structurally viable* alternative external wall element designs are available instead of those that were used in your two comparison houses? a. You must briefly describe at least 3 alternatives (only 3, not 3 for each house). b. From these three alternatives, pick your preference. It should be capable of reflecting the original design intentions of the architecturally designed home, but may be developed for either house. Offer more details on its ‘structural viability’ (see note below). c. Defend your choice by answering the questions that follow, comparing it against the original house designs (I.e.: You now discard the other 2 options you came up with and compare your preferred option against the two original house external wall element designs). Note: The wall element consists of exterior face through to interior face (e.g. brick veneer, cavity, foil insulation, wall framing and bulk insulation, plasterboard lining, paint). *Structurally viable: consider point and uniformly distributed loads, window and door penetrations, allowance for services such as water, gas, electrical. 2. How will your design cater for point loads on the exterior walls? Does your design simplify construction or make point load support more complex? 3. Design influences. How do your proposals influence: a. the poche*, and hence the overall exterior and interior dimensions and the capacity for services to pass through? b. the footing design? (think back to question 2 and point loading) c. the spatial qualities (e.g. aesthetic, acoustic, sensory [‘feel’]) of both interior and exterior volumes or zones, upon people living in, around, or otherwise interacting with the building? 4. materiality choices - the potential energy efficiency of the building and sustainability of its materiality; longevity, maintenance? 5. What lateral support or bracing systems would be appropriate for your proposed exterior wall element? Could tectonic** design elements be feasible or relevant using your wall concept? *See class notes on “poche’. **See class notes on “tectonic architecture”. Construction Management (or D364 Arch/CM) students When planning to construct a building such as described in Assessment Task 2: 1. What structurally viable* alternative external wall element concepts are possible other than those that were used in your two comparison houses? You may devise your own if you wish. a. You must briefly describe at least 3 alternatives (only 3, not 3 for each house).

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 Page 14 of 21 b. From these three alternatives, pick the one you prefer and offer more details as on its ‘structural viability’ (see note below). c. Defend your choice by answering the questions that follow by comparing it against the original house designs (I.e.: You now discard the other 2 options you came up with and compare your preferred option against the two original house external wall element designs). Note: The wall element consists of exterior face through to interior face (e.g. brick veneer, cavity, foil insulation, wall framing and bulk insulation, plasterboard lining and paint). *Structurally viable: consider point and uniformly distributed loads, window and door penetrations, allowance for services such as water, gas, electrical. 2. How will your design cater for point loads on the exterior walls? 3. Footing design: reflect again on point loads, what are the potential implications for the footings? 4. Constructability. How might these different external wall elements influence: a. sequencing/scheduling of events and material availability b. human resourcing? E.g. subcontractors, onsite skills. c. site based equipment needs? d. safe work practices and systems? 5. What lateral support or bracing systems would be appropriate for your proposed exterior wall element. Are these likely to be easier, quicker, materially and structurally more efficient than the systems included in the original home designs.

SRT151 – Construction and Structures 1 T2-2022 Page 15 of 21 Frequently Asked Questions • Do drawings need to be CAD?: CAD/Sketchup etc. not required, neat hand drawing is ok. The final document, however drawn, must be submitted as PDF. • Should we include an individual reflection in the team charter?: Yes. Once the project is finalised this should be added to the team charter. This may be included at the revised ‘front end’ (Part 1) or at the end (close out of Part 2). • What really goes in the AT02 Interim and Final Reports: The team charter (planned) and actions to date of interim report submission – see page 6 Importantly, the identified submission times for all units that each group member is enrolled in. You do this so you can plan your work around all your units. The identity of the chosen house plans (these should be uploaded) A very brief description of the two houses: type of structural system(s) used including roof, walls, floor and footings. E.g., trussed roof with metal cladding; timber framed brick veneer walls… etc. Brief outline of key differences between the two buildings: Alignment on block, window types, footing types (both might be concrete but one may be stiffened raft slab, the other wafflepod system) etc. covering each element of the two buildings. The interim report repeated and updated with the new actions and any changes in group make up and tasks. The comparative analysis of each element of the compared buildings. Your discussion should cover not just the description, but how they compare on issues of sustainability, ease of construction, material costs and accessibility, energy efficiency, on site skills and labour required, safety in construction, life cycles and the like. Conclusion as to which building is the most successful when all the above comparisons are made. You should also make a statement on which building makes for the better ‘home’ based on criteria of your own: which may be affordability and or some determination of ‘liveability’: would you like to live in this property or not (and why)? • AT04 Applied Structural Solution Task Three examples of how an external wall element may be constructed: Not counting the two original designs (one from each house you are comparing). Examples should be well considered and a sectional view of each. More definitive and detailed information on your preferred version. Responses to all four questions (note, Q3 has five parts) focused on your preferred wall element design in comparison to the two original designs. Do I have to calculate component sizes from tables and the like? No, but you should draw rationally, look to examples for ‘appropriate/approximate’ dimensions of components. Text vs Graphics: Use graphics informatively as you go through your responses. There is no set 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, split. Say what needs to be said, draw what needs to be drawn.

Additional details and clarity need to be incorporated No evidence of critical thinking presented Communication – Written (GLO2) The written language used throughout the portfolio was: Clear, Precise, Appropriate, AND Concise (brief and comprehensive) The written language throughout the portfolio was mostly: Clear (easy to understand), Precise (correct use of language - few grammatical or spelling errors) and Appropriate (for the audience) The written language in the portfolio was sometimes difficult to understand due to many grammatical and spelling errors or inaccurate use of language. Careful proof reading and editing required The written language in the portfolio was often difficult to understand, resulting in a frustrating user experience Communication – Visual (GLO2) Graphics were clear and precise with obvious attention to detail, and images were used well to support the key messages in the portfolio Graphics were clear and images were used well to support the key messages in the portfolio While graphics and images were provided, they did not meet the required quality. More effort required to improve the graphics and rethink the choice of images Graphics and images were not clear or were very poor quality and detracted from the presentation Total Marks /15 Example result: 8/12 => 0.6666 = > 66.66% = C HD D C P N 80% - 100% 70% - 79% 60% - 69% 50% - 59% 0% - 49%
