LO1. identify the concepts and principles associated with the building, environment and technology of simple construction and be able to evaluate and interpret them using sketches, drawings or in written form LO2. describe building elements and components in specific situations; how, when and where they would be favoured; and the construction sequence for simple buildings LO3. evaluate the appropriateness of different approaches, materials and construction in simple construction in accordance with building, environment and technology theories and sustainability LO4. communicate accurately and reliably on building, environment and technology issues for simple construction, using structured coherent arguments and theory Scenario The architect has looked at the proposals that you made (in the Assignment 1 task) and made some suggestions. You have decided to manage the project yourself, based on what you have learnt from these suggestions and from a recent study, using directly employed tradespeople. However, a large amount of the money that you won on the National Lottery has been spent or allocated to other items, and this means that you will now have to obtain a ‘selfbuild’ loan to partly fund your dream. Your selfbuild loan provider has asked you to explain to them why they can safely provide you with a loan for half the estimated sale value of the property against a mortgage on the property. Task Write a report to your selfbuild loan provider where you explain: • your final proposals, including any changes or modifications to the chosen building system; • the quality of the windows doors and finishes that you propose; • how you will achieve an efficient energy performance; • how long the build will take to complete, highlighting any critical activities that could delay progress. Include drawings and sketches, as you see fit, to enhance the description of your proposals. All drawings or sketches must be A4size. Your report should give the loan provider confidence that you have an appropriate level of technical competence to manage this project. It does not have to cover the financial aspects of the project
