Lecture number 4
Lecture title:
The FM roles in Design and Fit Out.

3. In this session…
In this session we will consider, ‘how a workplace is designed’.

4. Learning outcomes At the end of this session you should be able to:
The learning outcomes of this session
1. Analyse knowledge and information management on space allocation in offices and buildings.
3. Develop a strategy for space allocation in offices and buildings.

5. What does a space plan look like?

6. Client Requirements
Examples of general client requirements in office buildings are:
Occupation density 1 person per 10 to 15m2
Useable floor area :Total area 80 to 90% typically
Floor to floor zone 3.6 to 4.2m
Floor to ceiling zone 2.7 to 3m typically
Imposed loading 2.5 to 5kN/m2
Fire resistance 30 to 120 minutes.

7. Introduction

8. Design &FM
The role of FM at this stage should be significant as they will be running the facility once it becomes operational.

9. Why Design?
There are 4 key factors that require the need for new facilities:
1/ Acquisitions & Mergers;
2/ Expansion in staff;
3/ New locations; and
4/ Consolidation.

10. Design Brief?

11. FM Design Brief?

12. Designing Functionality
Aesthetics of the building.
How?
Insulation to the building fabric
Ease of access to repair
Shape – can affect usable area and heating
Standard Fittings
Robustness
Whole Life Costing

13. Designing Waste Minimisation
Efficient use of materials by using std sizes.
Pre-fabricated/pre-assembled
Lower embedded energy

14. Designing in Efficient Building Utilisation
Fit for purpose.
Flexible.
Adaptability.
Operating Systems.

15. Designing in Environmental Practices
Lakes
Plants
Waste Management
Transport Plans

16. Designing in Business Planning
Less design changes
Creating a space that meets the business’s needs (changes in working patterns)

17. Designing in Technology
CAFM
Intelligent Buildings
BMS
BIM

18. Summary
The cost of corporate property is the second highest corporate expense after payroll.
Understanding organisations and their space requirements can significantly reduce costs and increase productivity.
What role should an FM play in a design team?

19. Next session In next week’s lecture we will consider and discuss:
Ergonomics
