Part C#
Collaborate to integrate the building systems of different disciplines to satisfy technical and design requirements.
Stage C starts by responding to the client feedback and integrating the chosen solution into an ‘outline design’. This stage should also update the excel to check the building is on target and justify if not. This will help inform the required subject and client report assignments for stage C.
C1 Client Report
C2 Consultant Reports
C3 BIM
C4 Invoice
Hint
Part C is your main opportunity to get feedback on your current trajectory and approach before the final 3-week period in Part D, So, make the most of it 😊. Remember to include a list of questions for your chief consultant at the end of your reports to help them focus their feedback for you.
C1 Client Report#
The client report is a high level report including information on the:
Project & KPIs
Team
Advanced Building Design, what it is to you
Beats
Site
Existing Building
Building Design
Floors
Spaces, entrance, auditorium, multipupose and cafe
Structural system inc. floor plan, loads, components, Geotechnical, Fire Safety
MEP, Building Systems, Hydronic Systems, basement and tech floor, confort etc.

Questions for feedback
Reuse of Building and Components#
Reusing existing building elements is a valuable ambition in a transformation project — but the commitment must be reflected in your design choices, LCA, and implementation decisions. If you claim reuse, you must prove it.
In practical terms, ask yourself: how will this actually work on site? For example, extracting bricks for reuse typically requires precision cutting with heavy machinery. That extraction process — including its associated emissions — must be captured in your LCA, not just the avoided production of new materials.
Your report should address:
Which materials or components are being reused, and where in the building they will go
How reuse will be carried out in practice — equipment, process, sequencing
How reuse affects structural design, architectural design, and U-values
The emissions associated with the extraction/recovery process
How reuse is integrated into your LCA — not as an assumption, but as a modelled input
Reuse must be addressed across all relevant reports. In the client report, this belongs in the existing materials section (section 06: Existing Building). Deeper technical justification should appear in the LCA, structural, and architectural consultant reports.
Note: We want to see reuse — but it must be clearly reasoned and accompanied by an action plan. Where will the material go? How does it affect performance? If you claim it, show your working.
C2 Consultant Reports#
Each consultancy delivers a report:
A4: Maximum 20 pages + appendixes
A3: Maximum 13 pages + appendixes
Each consultant should review their subject documentation to see which additional requirements are required of them.
All reports:
File format: One PDF document per consultancy. No other formats are accepted.
Note: words count should be the same on A4 and A3 format
File name: [YEAR]-[TEAM]-[PART]-[SUB].file
Example for part c consultant report for architecture in team 10: 26-10-C-ARCH.pdf
Note_1: Over the limit pages will be ignored
Note_2: Extra information should be included & referenced to the appendixes chapter at the end of the report, placed after the reference chapter, and will in this way be taken into consideration.
Note_3: Pages without an author(s) will be ignored.
Awards#
Architecture Supporting others Award
We want you to support others solutions.
Structural Innovation Award
We want you to explore innovative structural solutions.
Geotechnical Innovation Award
Renovations are challenging for renovation projects, this award shows thatyou are pushing the limits.
C3 BIM#
The building Information models and processes for this project are essential both for the team to progress, analyse and develop the design and future students to learn from the work you have done.
https://timmcginley.github.io/41936/Assignments/A.html#a5-ict-contract
Satisfy all the requirements stated in the ICT Agreement.
All BIM should be submitted in both native format (i.e. Revit) and IFC 4X3
For IFC be sure to save also save the quantities and make sure that IFCSpaces have exported correctly.
Try and incorporate tools from the Advanced BIM class in your processs
Preference OpenBIM models, standards and processes at all stages of the process
Validate your IFC files so they conform to the schema with a schema checking tool
Check your IFC file conforms to the disciplinary needs using the relevant IDS
Important
File naming: [YR]-[TEAM]-[PART]-[SUB].file (TBC)
Example for the architects in team 10 in 2026 : 26-10-C-ARCH.ifc
Awards#
OpenBIM Award - Early Design Guidance
This course produces great BIM, but often it is too late to be useful in the design process - we want to support you to build useful BIM early so that you can use it to better understand the challenges in your building and move towards better integrated designs and making better choices.
Computational Design Award
We want you to embrace parametrics and smarter ways to work in this course.
PM Collaboration Award - Interdisciplinarity
PMs can be nominated by their team based on how well they supported collaboration and interdisciplinarity in the team.
C4 Invoice#
PM to collect invoices from the consultants on their team and collate into a single invoice fro the team including.
Part C Submission#
Integrate your recommendations to the client, drawings, separate photos of sketches, and a photo of the all the drawings/sketches on the wall into a client report in PDF. File name: PartC_TeamXX PM to gather all documents from the team and submit them under Assignment Part C in DTU Learn before the deadline.
Note
We would like to be able to reuse your work (annonymised) in teaching and research to help us design better, more sustainable buldings, by making the work available to future students. You can opt out of this by including an optout.txt saying you do not give you permisssion for the work to be used in future research or teaching along with this submission.
