Part 1

Building Regulations:
According to Rics (2017), the total Gross floor area in the UK is measured from the internal face of
the perimeter walls at each floor level, therefore areas occupied by internal walls and partitions. The
gross floor area used in this project 145 m2.

Ventilation

Building Regulations 39 – Windows designed will need to ensure that the house/ building
will be adequate amount of ventilations at all times for resident building(Polley, 2012)

Comment [O1]: Not required

Regulation M4- WC facility providing on

the ground floor of the house. The basin
should be a Minimumof 750mm from the
wall . the door opening is outdoor.(The
Building Regulations, 2010).
Figure 1: Ground Floor plan

Regulation M4- internal doors to facilitate access into habitable rooms so the size of the
internal door is 910 x 2110 mm (The Building Regulations, 2010).

Structure Schedule and Material Quantities

Quantity Take – off schedule

Step 1 : In order to show illustrate Go to ‘View’ tab, select ‘Schedules’ and

‘Schedules/Quantities’.

Step 2: Result of Quantity take off

 Page |4

Material Take Off schedule:

Step 1: is to select View’ tab, select ‘Schedules’, then ‘Material Take-off’.

Step 2 : Below image shows the result of wall material when taken off

Comment [O2]: These procedures are

not relevant. This has already been covered
in the BIM workbook. You should have
presented final output screenshots.

Always include captions of Figures and use

them for cross-referencing.

Step 3: Go to application> export>report>schedule. Save it as a .txt file and open it in MS Excel.The

output is as below.

Part 2
Embodied Energy and CO2
Step 1: Revit file and exported MS Excel generates material volume

Step 2: Embodied Energy (EE intensity (MJ/KG) and EC emissions (EC) data obtained from Bath ICE
spreadsheet.Material Density obtained from Cibse Journal.

Comment [O3]: Which material? You

need a column before Total volume (m3)
column

Naviswork Comment [O4]: Where is the project

programme in Navisworks?
Step 1: Revit file converted into a DWF type and then opened.

Selected items into the WBS.

 Page |7

Step 2: Quantity Take off generated and exported into Excel.

Step 3:Timeliner of Simulated house :Open the DWF file and click on Timeliner.

Step 4: the energy analysis result:Click on Analyse tab>Energy settings>Create/Delete Energy

model.Select Run energy simulation in the window.Choose Create New and then click Continue.

Comment [O5]: Not required

Comment [O6]: ditto

Discuss 2 major differences between quantity take-off in Revit and Navisworks.

Both Revit and Navisworks are software products developed by Autodesk for improving
productivity of AEC professionals. Comment [O7]: and so what?

According to Davis (2011), Revit can quantify only revit program-based, but Naviswork can
quantify more than 50 types of file formats and combine it in to a model. Naviswork also can
perform model takeoffs including 3D and 2D takeoffs and is also capable of doing virtual
takeoffs (matter that does not exists in the model or 2D plan).

Revit advances from a program been in Autodesk around 16 years, and Naviswork more
recent and has been around only about 10 years. Navisworks can use useful formulas to Comment [O8]: Obvious !

quantify like takeoff of a 2x4 stud wall with 1 layer gyp on both sides.

According to BIM articles (2017), Navisworks is capable of managing and developed with
purpose of assisting architects, engineers and modelers to recognize design faults within the
models in Revit and effectively carry out check for errors. Naviswork is mainly for identifying
reviewing and evaluating projects.
