TENDERING

Detail Design output builds upon the work carried out during the Schematic Design phase and crystallizes it into a design definition
that can be built. Some of the outputs that need to be created during this Detailed Design phase are:

Final engineering calculations Code compliance statements

Equipment lists Commissionability study

Equipment specifications Building LEED points

2D plans Permit drawings signed and sealed

3D models as required for clarification Construction drawings

Tender packages

M&E engineers now make their final calculations for all of the system elements. This results in confirmed equipment schedules and
specifications, right down to manufacturer names and part numbers for key equipment. Reticulation specifications may be more
generic in nature to allow flexibility during the tendering process.

Spatial Designers and Modellers now work on the final design plans for the building. Once again, choices are made as to which
technology to employ during the final design integration and coordination phase.
DETAIL DESIGN

It is quite common to use 3D models to deal with difficult aspects of the building, usually where space is at a premium or there are a
significant number of services sharing the same riser or plant room. Great care is taken to ensure that all plant, equipment, cabling,
pipes and duct reticulation are integrated in such a way that they can easily be installed following a simple sequential process and
that they do not interfere with each other. Care is also taken to ensure that there is adequate ventilation of the building and its
services, that noise polution is minimised, that risers line up, cast-in holes are in the right place and incoming utilities are correctly
located and terminated.

As the design process nears completion, there is often a need to produce blue prints for submission to the authorities to obtain
the various permits required. When required, Forsspac will manage the printing and signing & sealing (using country specific
registered professionals) of the final design output making this a smooth and economical process.

Prior to issuing the design for construction, it is important to conduct a full review of all the design processes that have been used to
verify, validate and sign off all documents before the final release of the design. Forsspac uses ISO9001:2008 processes to ensure that
all the necessary steps have been taken to ensure full confidence in the final design.

Once the final M&E design has been integrated and coordinated there is then a clear definition as to how the building should be built
and to what specifications. During the tendering process it is very important that the design is respected rather than relying on the
vendor or contractor who “knows best” to make recommendations that might just be in their own interest. At this stage, it is often
better to involve the design authority to review the tendering packages to make sure that you are getting what you want.
