Building Making

Building making course equips the students to carry out detailed development and refinement of building design through technical resolution of structural systems, material performance and experience, member assembly, threshold-enclosure details and process of construction.


The students comprehensively resolved their design schemes for the housing cum institutional projects at BOT Village and Dahisar TO. Manor, to generate a construction documentation set along with specifications, quantities and estimation. This year the building making course took a step further to introduce the students with building information modelling (BIM) software, REVIT. The building making course not only worked out how a building would stand in terms of structural logics but also stitched the non-linear, labyrinthine building making process identifying different stakeholders.

Accompanying this process, the students gathered a detailed annotated glossary of construction terms, through lectures, discussions and field visits. This course provided a thorough understanding of project and site management strategies, estimation, specification writing, bill of quantities and rate analysis which equipped the students to develop individual strategies for their site and to understand the total cost implication of the project based on market and their choices.
