Investigate commercial building service

With the two storey visitors’ centre proposed for the wildlife sanctuary at 53 Waiapu Road in Karori, Wellington (from assignment 1), the design has progressed to a point where the Trustees wish to know which engineers will need to be engaged to work on the design. They asked you to report on the services they will need to include in their building so that they can approach the appropriate subcontractors.

1. Explaining the effect of selected services on the
building design, construction and operation

You need to highlight how some systems may affect the building design as it progresses from the preliminary design stage to the detailed design stage. For the electrical, plumbing (cold and hot water and sanitary waste), lift and HVAC systems you need to
explain to the client:
* placement – what room a service may take and where it is likely to go in the building
* construction – specific structural and construction requirements for installation
* operation – what commissioning and ongoing maintenance will be required, and
where the service can be accessed
* cooperation – which consultants need to engage with each other during the design, documentation and construction process.

Again, a spreadsheet will organise your information and keep it short and to the point.
Below is an example of a spreadsheet layout:
System Placement Construction Operation *Cooperation
*Electrical
*Plumbing
*Lift
*HVAC

This task is to apply that knowledge to a specific building, and this is where there needs to be a New Zealand context. Why? With a set of islands set cross ways in the westerly drift of weather, surrounded by oceans, and mountain ranges created by volcanic and tectonic plate activity, the result is a unique environment. The New Zealand building code and New Zealand Standards recognize this.

You will need to make use of the New Zealand Building Code clauses and New Zealand Standards
