Required Submittals

 

1.        A building integration design development submittal of the interactions among the key aspects of the architecture, the 

           engineered systems, and the construction. This submittal should address the rationales for the trade-offs and choices made to

           arrive at the proposed design/construction solutions.

Additionally, submissions may be entered in one or more of the following categories:

2.        A design development submittal of the structural systems (foundation and wall, floor, and roof framing systems).

3.        A design development submittal of the mechanical systems (HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems).

4.        A design development submittal of the electrical systems (power, lighting, and related systems).

5.        Innovative construction management and construction methods focused on integrated design/construction teams, including

           delivery method and preliminary project planning, budget and schedule.  

 

It is recognized that the level of detail and information that is included in design development submittals can vary greatly.  Also, it is not the intent of the competition to provide a prescriptive list of items to be submitted for each area.  Therefore, submittals should be developed to the level that communicates the design intent while demonstrating that the solutions have been thoughtfully developed, are innovative and of high quality, and are realistic and functional.

Please note that information does not need to be repeated in multiple submittals and that teams are allowed to cross reference between their various submittals.

The entries are expected to be submitted in electronic format (.pdf files).  All entries shall include a cover page, table of contents, summary narrative, supporting documentation, and drawings.

Submittals shall be limited to 35 pages for each category entered and may include, but not be limited to, the following items:

1.  Cover page identifying project team and submission categories

2. Summary Narrative (10 page maximum)

• Statement of project goals/requirements
• Narrative description of systems/solutions
• Rationale for system selections and solutions

             

3.  Supporting Documentation (15 page maximum)

• Applicable codes and standards
• Design criteria, methodology, and assumptions
• Calculations and supporting documentation
• References and Resources

             

4.  Drawings (10 page maximum up to a 30x42.pdf format)

• Plans, sections, and elevations
• Typical details and/or details to highlight design elements
• Rendered views of project and/or design elements
• Related large format schedules and/or tables

Each entry shall include the team registration number on all submittal items and pages.  Please do not include team member names or school identification marks on submittals.  However, the team member names must be verified at the time of the submittal.

Finalist teams shall prepare an electronic presentation to be used during the final presentation.  Additionally, each finalist team shall provide a maximum of three PowerPoint slides per finalist category for display on public monitors during the conference.  Team member names and school identification marks may be used during the final presentations.  It is not required that all members of the team will participate in the presentation to the judges.  However, any or all team members may be present to assist with answering questions from the judges.  The team will present the entire project including all finalist categories at one time.  Approximately 15 minutes of presentation time will be allotted for the integration portion of the presentation and an additional 10 minutes of presentation time for each design category for which the team is a finalist.  The judges will be allotted approximately 10 -15 minutes for questions at the end of each presentation.
