Design Responsibility The package’s doors, joinery, linings, partitions, ceilings, fitted furniture and floor finishes are generally Descriptive specifications within the design team’s (Allies and Morrison and Asif Khan Studio) specifications: the design team sets the visual, functional and performance requirements, tolerances, basic setting out, typical interface details and the construction final issue drawings, and the Contractor completes the Technical Design. This includes system and component selection, detailed setting out, system construction details and shop drawings, certified data (including third-party fire assessments), and operation and maintenance information and as-built drawings. Where proprietary products are named, they are indicative only and the Contractor remains responsible for verifying their suitability. Doorsets are to be designed to BS EN 16034 / BS EN 14351-2 as appropriate, and fire-resisting doorsets must hold valid third-party certification (BM TRADA Q-Mark, BWF-CERTIFIRE or an equivalent UKAS-accredited scheme) with test evidence for seals and glazing. Door access control is to the MEP design: the Contractor provides the door-side preparation (concealed cableways, lock cases and contacts) and TP6000 MEP provides the system. Joinery incorporating lighting, speaker or electrical provisions is to be coordinated with the MEP Contractor, with mock-ups to the final materials and finishes. Elm timber work is highly specialist and depends on the quality of the base material, so Contractor visibility of its sub-contractors and a strict mock-up and sample process are required. Some finish systems, mainly floor, wall and paint finishes to the Conservatory, Art Gallery Foyers, Foyers and Stair 8, are Prescriptive specifications that are fully designed by the design team, with the Contractor constructing to the prescribed requirements.
