B58 Investigate, develop and integrate detailed design solutions
B58.2 Investigate, calculate and analyse detailed design solutions
Performance Criteria - this involves being able to...(a)identify relevant factors and data which are likely to influence the detailed design solution, assess their significance and prioritise them
(b)analyse and weight the factors which will influence the detailed design, deciding which are the most important for the design solution and resolve any conflicts between the different factors
(c)identify and develop detailed design solutions of those parts of the project that interact with each other
(d)agree and apply criteria for selecting detailed design solutions
(e)calculate the relative effectiveness of different design solutions
(f)analyse and test the detailed design solutions against all relevant factors, and re-check the results
(g)conduct and commission investigations which are capable of confirming the performance of the detailed design solutions which have been selected
(h)record the data from calculations, investigations and analyses and pass them on for checking
(i)select the preferred designs and present them to people who have an interest
(j)identify and record detailed design solutions which have not been selected but which might be useful in other projects / The Range...
