Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

1) Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three below:
a. Multi-Unit Residential Apartment
b. Office Buildings
c. School

Answer:-

• Multi-Unit Residential Apartment

2) Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC

Answer:-

• The open space around the building shall not be less than 4.5m
• the type of construction as type 2 construction , the FAR value for the business building shall be taken as 2.9
• The plot size is taken as 40m*70m i.e, 2800m2m2 and individual floor area is 2000m2m2. hence , far value obtained is 2.14 which is within the prescribed limits as per NBC.
• The width of the road abutting the building is taken as 9m(30').
