  7. Design some buildings & design issues

  8. Design [Ransley in Ransley & Ingram 2004, pp. 43-58] • “Perhaps the most basic difficulty for the neophyte hotel designer is learning that hotel operations must earn a profit out of its building. In a hotel, you are both leasing to the public every night and catering to their every need. Therefore, rather than a monument of mere rental space, a hotel must provide a total living environment, with all the needed multicomplex functions and activities” (p. 57)

  9. Design 1 (4)[Ransley in Ransley & Ingram 2004, pp. 43-58] • Design? • Design = Form + Function • From vision to reality • Drawings, planning, operations • Developing the building and facilities to meet changing customer needs / trends • The design process • Concept • Design brief • Costing • Detailed design • Tenders • Implementation

  10. Design 2 (4)[Ransley in Ransley & Ingram 2004, pp. 43-58] • Why bother with design?? • Marketing reasons • Ambience • Operations • Maintenance • Capital costs • Whole-of-building design • Environmentally sustainable buildings / design

  12. Design 4 (4)[Ransley in Ransley & Ingram 2004, pp. 43-58] • Factors affecting design • Corporate objectives / policy • Concept - ideas / market orientation • Location • Function - capacity / space utilisation • Aesthetics - style / character / integration • Budget / costs • Organisation - strategies / life cycle • Logistics - critical dates / contractors • Type of building - heritage listed?

  13. Technology & Design • Technology in materials • Use of pre-fabricated elements in building • Less risk (fire / water / redundancy) • CAFM / CIFM / CAD • Computer-aided FM • Computer-integrated FM • Computer-aided design • Integrating the workspace with building design • Impact on both staff and guests • CMMS • Computerised maintenance managementsystems • Linking the building with the organisation’ssystems

  14. Of course your case studies and projects will not be like this….

  15. Tutorial activity • How will the design of the property impact down the line on the condition and management of the facility? Think of a property you have worked in or visited – perhaps there are some design flaws that have even created inherent risks!
