Design brief – the statement defining the objectives to be achieved by the design process
Design phase – the period in a project during which the design process is carried out
Structural design considerations - the design aspects of the project influenced by structural
engineering requirements
Outcome 2 Describe the different elements of the building
The learner can:
1. Describe the functions of different foundations and analyse earthwork requirements.
2. Describe different forms of partitioning including brickwork and plastering requirements.
3. Identify the requirement and design doors and windows.
