Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

1)

AIM: To Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three Multi-Unit Residential Apartment or Office Buildings or School.

PROCEDURE: The type of structure i want to build from among the above three is Office Buildings.

RESULT: Office buildings

2)

AIM: To assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for the project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected we need to identify the modeling requirements from NBC

PROCEDURE: For the 2nd type building or Office Buildings some criteria to be followed according to NBC are:

1. The open space around the building should not be less than 4.5m.

2.The FAR value for business building shall be taken as 2.9

3. The plot size is taken as 40*70 m that is 2800m2 and individual floor area is 2000m2. Hence FAR value obtained is 2.14 which is within the prescribed limit .

4.The width of road abutting the building is taken as 9m (30')

RESULT: Some NBC codes for office buidings in chennai.
