Technical Standards

[00:00:00.330] - Speaker 1

Welcome to the technical standards site of the updated educational facilities, standards and Guidelines website. It's a standalone site with detailed information and technical requirements specifically designed for building industry professionals. Technical Standards is, however, intended to be used in conjunction with the Effsg section. In that site, you'll find valuable insights into why certain design and build decisions are being made to achieve the possible learning outcomes. The first thing you'll find in this new Technical Standards site are some convenient quick links a timesaving way to rapidly access the most commonly requested information.

You'll be able to see a quick overview of the content available and the sorts of things your industry peers are using the site for. Below that, you'll find frequent downloads a dynamically generated record of what active users are downloading at any particular time. By showing in real time the three currently most visited sections of the site, it's a valuable insight into what issues are in the news or creating most interest. Next, there's Browse Work Sections, a newly curated grouping of particular areas of work that greatly simplifies things for users. They still follow the familiar Ospec and Natspec system, but the whole process is streamlined by grouping them together in a more manageable way.

Grouping relevant performance requirements and specifications within particular Work Sections is a handy way of minimising the amount of nonrevant content people previously had to sift through. Next you'll see kit of parts. This has some exciting new functionality which automatically optimises whole of project information. It helps you gather detailed content and helps you gain a full understanding of project requirements when adopting standardised designs and delivering the modern methods of construction. It's designed to provide everything in one place a comprehensive collection of project delivery requirements and detailed design components in a BIM environment that meets all the standards, delivery and construction information that your project requires.

Design Guideline Notes is a new section that taps into expert thinking from those actually working in the field. Based on the latest research and best Practises, it's a great place to access reliable and up to the minute information on improvements and innovations in processes, guidelines, and specifications. Roadmap is also a new addition to the site. It's a place where you can see any changes that have planned both to content and to the site itself. Lastly, you'll find a section titled Recently Updated.
