Feasi Discussion

Thoughts after dicussion:

1. The deciding factor is not the bulk of it ( eg Facade)itself. 

2. Placement of driveway wrt services that need access, for eg: ESS/CSR, note ht is 5.7m, cable chamber is 2m, then powergrid is 3.6m above.

3. Toilet location for sanitary stack, the closer it can be to the entrance the better, shorter pipework, save money

4. Detention Tank and location should be considered wrt lowest invert level of perimeter drain, so that it can be gravity feed. If not a pump will be needed, expensive n need maintenance.

5. Existing Hydrant location? if it is too far, pressure is not enough, a pump room may be needed

6. For steelwork expression, if smoothness is not required as per specifications, fire rated board not needed, can be vermiculite, and thus expressed.

7. For ESS, usually not steel as it needs 4hr fire rating, so RC is better.

8. As it is 3 storey, risers needed esp electrical, location usuallly at s/c or wc.

Qns ask by archi boss:

-Elevation needed surface area, after calculating unprotected opening , for costing purpose of fire-rating

-Facade wise, columns at the back

-Brief says need 9 months till completion, M&E says ESS can be done in 6 months, 1 month between plan and approval.

 How is this one different: ( on hindsight what i should have highlighted for scheme 2)

-Facade expression, master & servant, healing garden for cp

-FEA is independent, as loading is 30 tonnes the material has to be specific, if it is in a garden location, the natural pathway theme could be compromised

-location of ESS can be nearer to the accessroad
