Course Brief

This unit focuses on the erection of buildings with complex requirements through the
use of modern systems and methods of construction. Students will analyse the
principles of buildability in terms of health and safety, efficiency, economy,
sustainability and quality. The importance of developing a sustainable construction
strategy is emphasised and students will explore the techniques and procedures
involved in the safe and sustainable demolition of buildings. The importance of clear
technical communication is also examined during and after the build process.


This unit is designed to give students a thorough understanding of the technology
involved in complex buildings. Students will discover how scientific solutions are
applied to complex building projects through technology, the choice of materials,
buildability and construction methods. Particular emphasis is placed on the
consideration of sustainability and health and safety in the construction of complex
structures.


On successful completion of this unit, students will have applied suitable strategies,
processes and methods of construction to meet prevailing conditions. They will be
able to justify selected materials and construction methods used in complex buildings
against set criteria and choose systems to facilitate alternative uses of buildings
