Design Approach Clause Samples
The Design Approach clause outlines the methodology and principles that will guide the development of a project's design. It typically specifies the standards, processes, and criteria to be followed by the design team, such as adherence to industry best practices, sustainability considerations, or client-specific requirements. By clearly defining how design decisions will be made and documented, this clause ensures that all parties have a shared understanding of expectations, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and helping to deliver a design that meets the project's objectives.
Design Approach. To design a model-based DSL to specify SLAs, a metamodel (or structure, as MPS calls it) was required first. This was done by starting with the abstract syntax of SLA* and modifying it for our purpose. It was then extended to support deontic and temporal logic, in accordance with DSL Requirements 3 and 4. Care was taken to separate technical and business levels of the language, to keep it usable for non-technical users. The structure was updated as required in iterations of the language. After defining the structure, several other elements of the language had to be implemented: an editor, constraint, and a type system. First, a minimal viable editor was made, making sure a simple syntax exists for every concept. Second, a minimal constraint set and type system were implemented, which determined the constraints and type restrictions on the language. These components were updated when needed in iterations of the language. Finally, the language was tested by using it to define different SLAs, based on the running example of Section 3.1, verifying that it covers the requirements.
Design Approach. WEPCo shall:
Design Approach. Provide a general discussion of your design approach. That discussion may include responding to the following questions: • How does your firm approach modernization projects versus new construction projects? • How do you integrate flexibility to accommodate future developments? • How do you integrate design input from other parties, such as subconsultants, the Owner, or the contractor? • How does your firm coordinate and interface between your firm’s drawings and those of consulting professionals in order to achieve fully coordinated design and construction documents? • What is your process to ensure that designs are efficient, cost effective to construct, and designed to the established budget, including your firm’s experience with construction cost estimating and construction cost reduction measures such as, but not limited to, value engineering and bid alternates? • What methods and approaches does your firm use to successfully meet completion deadlines, including examples?
Design Approach. While maximum use of contractor innovation and creativity is encouraged, the contractor shall design the JTAMS to work with the JCCS, FUAV and JUGV.
Design Approach a. Four technical memoranda will be prepared for various issues;
i. These will be submitted in draft form for AWU’s review; and
ii. AWU’s review comments will be incorporated into a final Preliminary Engineering Report (PER):
1) The final PER will be provided in conjunction with the first preliminary design review submittal (30%); and
2) The PER will be an accumulation of the individual four TMs; and
b. The design for the three lift stations will begin after the TMs are reviewed by AWU. These will be developed as a single package for competitive bidding. These will be submitted at various stages for AWU’s review or bidding:
i. A preliminary design submittal (30%) for review along with the final PER (for documentation);
ii. A pre-final design (75%) submittal for review;
iii. The final design (100%) submittal for review; and
iv. Seal and Signed submittal for advertisement.
Design Approach. The website will be an interactive, eye-catching, legible, user-friendly and dynamic platform, enabling users to easily get the information they want. Adding some design features from the local culture can add more appeal to the site.
Design Approach. Specialty Mod Construction traditionally begins every project by performing a detailed evaluation of the owner’s building program and the construction budget. Expectations for the completed project are identified through this evaluation and an initial meeting with the owner and team members. An initial project schedule is prepared to identify specific time frames for individual phases of the project. Key milestones are highlighted in the schedule and tracked to avoid any unnecessary delays. The schedule will also identify items that require action on the owner’s part such as design approvals and the selection of materials. Design and Quality Assurance/Controls are in place and are monitored by the project team. QA/QC measures include the use of known best practices, CAD/Revit standards manual and drawing standards guidelines, while always remaining fully code compliant. Specialty Mod Construction has a team approach for all its projects. In the interest of continuity, project teams are maintained intact from initial engagement through final project close out. This strategy assures availability of knowledgeable staff that promotes the fulfillment of the design intent and facilitates the construction process. Specialty Mod Construction’s executive leadership is engaged in every project to assure quality consistency as well as to provide guidance and oversight.
