BDAS - Enhancement to BDAS (COP 2017)
Summary of the key changes to BDAS :
1. Buildable Design Features (max 10 pts) under COP 2015
incorporated within either Structural and Wall system
2. New section on DfMA with max 20 pts for DfMA technologies
3. Overall maximum achievable B-Score increased from 100 pts
to 110 pts
4. Separate min B-Scores for basement and superstructure works
5. Increase in minimum prefabrication level for IGLS sites
