Assignment Brief and Guidance

Scenario: "Construction Information for a House Design"

As a design team, you are required to develop the design of a house, which has just received planning approval, into a set of construction information. This will form a technical package which will be included as part of tender documents. These will be released to interested main contractors, who will submit their tenders based on design and build procurement, using a JCT form of contract. The house will be of load- bearing masonry construction with a pitched roof.
