SCOPE OF WORK
Design and detailing of structures
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS
Based on the concept developed, detailed architectural drawings shall be compiled. The
drawing shall consist of all drawing essential for all type of clearances and sufficient
details for the designer to design the structures. Drawings shall depend on the type of
clearance essential and efforts shall be made to suit the requirements. Typically the
clearance essential in India are:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Machine/ Lift clearance
Forest/ Tree authorities
Municipal/ Gram panchayat / Development board/ District authorities
Electricity departments including HT line clearances
Environmental clearance including necessity of STP
Fire department
Some of the approvals and sanctions depend on the value of the project and shall be
not required for small size of project. Some additional sanctions could be essential
based on the location of the plot (CRZ clearance etc) and its proximity to certain
infrastructure (airport etc) facilities.
The primary concept shall also define the philosophy of usage of external faade and of
all important inputs like type of furniture, landscape, kitchen furniture and equipments,
fire and safety systems, interior layouts etc. Proper care shall be taken to account for
each and every requirement of space of the client. Functional and ergonomics
requirements shall also be considered and where ever it is found that our inputs could
enhance the functional usage of the structure, we shall provide appropriate advice to
the client.
STRUCTURAL DESIGNS: Systematic procedure for design of a structure that shall be followed is as under:
1.0 Loading on a structure: - Loads on a structure can be a Live Load, dead Load,
Floor Finish, Wind Load, Seismic Load, and Special Loading (e.g. Equipments
etc.)
2.0 Evaluation of loads and determination of worst loading condition: - Load
evaluation is done as per requirement of a structure. All the loads are
summarized and taken for all further calculation.
3.0 End condition determination: - Fixing of End Conditions for a structure is done
as per structural requirements. (e.g. Cantilever, simply supported, Fix end
conditions)
4.0 Frame analysis for bending moments and shear forces: - Frame analysis is done
by STADD by application of evaluated loads for evaluation of Maximum Bending
and Shear and its location.
5.0 Assumption of material properties: - Material properties can be Grade of Steel
and Concrete, Density, Type etc. For all marine structures concrete used is M50
and for all other works it is M 40. Residential structures have been designed in
M35. The grade of concrete is assumed as above with Durability as the main
criterion.
6.0 Assumption of sectional details and reworking of sectional details: - Evaluation
of a minimum sectional requirement (Thickness, Depth etc.) for maximum
Bending Moment and Shear force.
7.0 Check of section for adequacy of shear, bending, and deflection: - Check the
section for permissible one way / two way shear, deflection, and bending as per
IS Code provision.
8.0 Determination of steel requirements: - Evaluation of a minimum steel required
and main steel requirement. Coal provision of minimum steel is taken into
consideration while determination of steel to be provided for a given section.
The sections are not designed for sudden failure.
9.0 Transmission of loads: - Evaluation of load transmission (e.g. From slab to
beam, beam to column, column to foundation). Designs are first done by
evaluation of loads on all slabs at the top section, which is then transferred to
the respective column through the beam. Subsequently loads on the slab below
this level is taken and the loads from the top column are transferred to the
column below till we reach ground floor. All loads are then transferred to the
foundation system.
10.0 Design the elements for respective loading as per Step 4 to Step 8
respectively. The designs shall be done in conformity to various equivalent of
the IS codes as listed under.

We shall provide monthly/ weekly work progress and completion schedule.
It is the responsibility of the client to allow the design professional both
adequate time and financial resources to prepare a complete set of design
documents. Unless the designers provide us with the design inputs we can
not provide the working drawings. Lack of design input does not constitute
incomplete work on our part.
It is the responsibility of the design professional to provide the client with
complete and accurate design documents that give thorough information (per
AISC Code of Standard Practice) that allows the detailer to correctly interpret
the design intent and to produce quality drawings.
It is our responsibility to inform the client of the inadequacies of the design
documents during the review phase and the extra detailing cost and
schedule impact of those inadequacies.
It is the responsibility of the client to sort out the cost implication arising due
to design inadequacies and the impact on the resulting cost and schedule

impact. (Please note: Staff hours, which are misutilized or must be
reassigned, result in extra costs. Extra charges may result without the
addition of drawings or material.)
It is our responsibility to produce working/ construction drawings, not to
check or coordinate contract documents. Should the client desire we should
perform such an activity or to prepare Engineering Clarification Memos (RFI),
such activities shall be considered as extra work for which we are entitled to
compensation.
