Design Framework - managing building services design

A free copy of Design Framework for Building Services 3rd edition for every delegate. 

Better control of design activities is a key project competence to enable design and construction teams to deliver better value to the client. The trend for increasingly complex buildings, to comply with more onerous building regulations and respond to more sophisticated occupier requirements, is matched by the trend for more complex supply chains and delegation of design to a wider range of technical specialists.

BSRIA has been publishing guidance on managing design for nearly 20 years, and this course has been developed to help everyone involved with the management of building services design understand the specific tools that are now available to help this task.

Managing design processes in today's building sector requires a range of different approaches:

• Making sure that each different design group is clear where its work starts and ends
• Making sure that the different design disciplines are supporting each other's work, not repeating it or undoing it
• Making sure that design deliverables are clearly explained and understood.

In particular, this course has just been updated to include BSRIA's new guidance on developing Building Information Models. The course also explains how BSRIA's guidance fits in with emerging BIM guidance from the rest of the construction industry and in particular with the Government requirement to use Level 2 BIM on public sector projects.
