Question 2. Assessment of Structural stability, fire resistance and the adequacy of structures in fire. Background: A well know German winery purchased a regional vineyard with several dilapidated but State and local Heritage listed buildings. The new owners have a grand vision for this farm. Their vision is a boutique hotel in one of the buildings and ultra-modern winery that also houses a regional art gallery and cooking school in the other. The new owners won a contract with ABC 1 for a cooking show as direct competition to MasterChef. The cooking show will use the cooking school and boutique hotel for the next season of this program. The filming is due to start in 9 months, so the pressure is on to get all approvals and construction work done before then. The Local Council’s Mayor has given their endorsement of this project, and The most prominent structure, earmarked for the boutique hotel, is a three-storey hand cut stone building, a former convent. The building has a footprint of 2,800 square metres, and access to the above ground floors is via two magnificent stone and wood staircases. A wrought iron staircase attached to the back of the building was installed in the late 1950’s as a fire escape. Currently the building is backpacker accommodation for seasonal fruit pickers Page 2 of 3 BLAR 12056 Assessment 1 2019/2020 who travel through the region. A few drywall offices are found on the ground floor, together with a large kitchen. The second building comprise of a large wood and sheet iron shed, 6,000 square metres roofed area, and is tight against the stone building. The shed has two sets of sliding shed style doors where tractors and trailers drove in to deliver night picked grapes on concrete floors in this 9 metre high structure. The plan: The stone building’s ground floor will be turned into open plan offices for the winery with separate entrances to the back (1,000m2). The front part of the ground floor will be a six star reception area with wine and champagne bar (1,000m2); three small specialist shops complete the ground floor. The rest of the building will comprise of one and two bedroom guest suites, all with magnificent views of the vineyards and distant hills. They propose 10 one bedroom and 5 two bedroom suites per floor. The structure is sandstone with a wooden floor and metal sheet roof. The wooden shed will have two separate uses: 1.) Half will become a cooking school with auditorium for 200 people, cool rooms and open industrial kitchen with tasting area. 2) 2.) The second half will be an ultra modern stainless steel winery where an Australian version of the famous German Riesling will be crafted. This part will also act as an art gallery, combining modern winery with art. The wooden structure cannot be altered, however, a steel sub frame inside the shed will host all the new building elements of both the cooking school and the winery. (A sketch will be provided of the building) The architect is frustrated by the complications of both the heritage listings and the structural stability requirements. The project manager, who wants to do the right thing, appoints your firm to do an assessment of what will be required for the proposed development to be structurally compliant. a) In explaining the role of a building surveyor, describe how you would go ahead about checking each of the above structures, to satisfy the loads and actions to which it may be reasonably subjected to; b) What considerations must be taken to maintain structural stability in the event of a fire, to allow occupants to evacuate to a safe place. c) Please describe the required Fire safety and fire resistance ratings for each of the buildings in table format by; - classifying each area of the building as described under NCC building classes - determining the type of construction required - determining the FRL of each building component. i.e. walls, floors, roof etc. Page 3 of 3 BLAR 12056 Assessment 1 2019/2020 Assessment criteria Question 1 Accuracy and relevance of information, application of knowledge, language and grammar used in answering questions. a) 4 b) 1 c) 2 d) 4 Question 2 Accuracy and relevance of information, application of knowledge, language and grammar used in answering questions. a) 5 b) 3 c) 3 Presentation 1.5 Referencing 1.5 Total 25
