Design Variables And It's Affect To Cost

Building Shape

Introduction

- Rectangular shape

- Cost economical

- High complexity, higher cost

- 1969 : Perpustakaan Universiti Sains

Malaysia ( Malayan Teacher's College )

- 1971 : Moved to Minden

- 1979 : Perpustakaan Utama

- 1994 : Perpustakan Utama II was built

- Dec 10 2014 : named as Library Hamzah

Sendut, Library Hamzah Sendut

I, Library Hamzah Sendut 2

Size

- Dimension : 61722mm x 30488mm

( 1882 sq m )

- Building size > , Cost >

- More building materials and

structural elements

Suggestion to Improve Building Design

Space

Height

- total of 48 ft tall : basement ( 10 ft )

3 stories ( 12.6 ft each )

- not the main element for its own function

- built on flat ground base, cost saving

- wall / floor area is probably low

- decrease cost

a) Usable area

- tables and computers

- reception table

- office

- reading area

- multipurpose room

- discussion room

b) Ancillary space

- maintenance room

- pantry area

c) Circulation

- elevators

- staircases

Factor Elements That May Affect Cost

Roof

before

after

a) Selection of roof material

b) Roof pitch

- Asphalt, wood and composite shingles, slate,

concrete and clay tiles

- Asphalt : cheaper

Slate : expensive

- Expensive material will increase the cost

per sq m

- Roof pitch > , cost >

- Steep roof ( > 30 degree ) requires safety

equipment

- Roof steep determined the underlayment

system

- In long term costing,

Cost of flat roof > Cost of steep roof

- Flat roof requires maintenance

- hidden inside a small

room

- improper circulation

- dark and merely

exposed to sunlight

- lights are switch on

during day time only

Wall

Foundation

a) Method of constructing walls

b) Division of area

a) Site condition

b) Pressure

- Thick wall to sustain the horizontal pressure

- Thicker the wall, higher the cost

- More division, more walls

- Materials needed increase, cost increase

- Cost for different division area will be different

- Cost per sq m decrease if only one floor has

internal walls

- Cost per sq m increase if a high-rise building

has same division for every floor

Finishes

- Things to considered:

Sloping site : ground floor above

ground or partly sunk below ground

- Cost to import dry fills

- Cast in place or precast

- Cast in place : placed and finished in its

final location

Precast : manufactured at a plant

and transported to

construction site

- Depends on client's wishes

- Cast in place used cheaper material but

more time consuming than precast

- Cost per sq m increase, when total cost

increase

a) Aesthetics design

b) Type ( Window )

- Modern windows with glazed, and window

exposed to sunlight

- Coating of the window surface

- Cost per sq m will increase

- Affect the attitude

- Positive relationship between design and

attitude

- Cost depends on the way to create

aesthetics effect

Services

a) Use of alternative energy

b) Maintenance requirement

- Solar energy

- Short-term : High installation cost

Long term : Reduce cost of electric

- Cost per sq m decrease ( long term )

- Depends on the quality of materials,

workmanship in construction, climatic

condition, and deterioration with usage

- Lower initial cost, most likely to have high

maintenance cost, high whole life cost
