Destination, project use and occupancy model
SARENTA · PROJECT AUTHORITY CENTRE
Move from product interest to a controlled project specification.
Coordinate clear-span event, sport, resort, community and commercial structures around use, occupancy, span, clear height, wind/snow where relevant, envelope, openings, fire/acoustic requirements, foundations, logistics and local engineering before the exact structure is released.
01 · PROJECT INPUTS
Define the conditions before the exact system is released.
These inputs are deliberately upstream of model selection so the product does not dictate the brief.
Required clear span, length, eave/ridge height and internal clearances
Wind, snow where relevant, seismic and other local structural criteria
Envelope pathway: membrane, hard wall, glazing, insulation or mixed
Openings, doors, loading access and emergency/egress interfaces
Fire, acoustics, HVAC, lighting and internal-environment requirements
Foundation, anchoring, site levels, drainage and ground conditions
Freight, site access, erection sequence and local installation responsibility
02 · EVIDENCE CONTROL
Keep project claims attached to what the evidence actually proves.
Generic declarations, outdated catalogues or unrelated certificates should not be carried into a project as exact-system evidence.
Exact structural series and material specification
Current span/configuration limits tied to the selected system
Membrane/material weight and fire-performance evidence where applicable
Project structural calculations and drawings for the actual design criteria
Connection, anchoring and foundation reactions for local engineering
Opening/envelope component evidence for the selected configuration
QA, warranty, manuals and inspection/maintenance documentation
03 · CAD / DRAWING REGISTER
Planning references are not exact-system construction drawings.
Every drawing/model status stays visible so consultants know what can be used now and what only exists after configuration or project-specific design.
| Resource | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Clear-span structure concept / planning layout | Public planning | Early scope, interface and consultant coordination only. |
| Generic technical reference / typical detail | Public planning | Explains system logic without representing an exact supplied configuration. |
| Exact-system GA / dimensional drawing | Exact-system | Issued only after the quoted system/configuration is known. |
| Native CAD / DWG / DXF | Verify availability | Availability and revision must be confirmed against the exact supplied system. |
| BIM / Revit / IFC object | Verify availability | Only described as BIM where a genuine verified native model exists. |
| Foundation / fixing / setting-out drawing | Project-specific | Depends on site/building conditions, local engineering and the selected system. |
| Services / electrical / controls interface | Project-specific | Coordinates the supplied system with local power, data, water, drainage or controls. |
04 · SPECIFICATION STARTER
Write the project around performance, interfaces and evidence.
These clauses are a project-planning structure, not a substitute for local professional specifications or exact-system documentation.
Use/occupancy and design life
Plan geometry, span and clear-height requirements
Structural design criteria and local professional interfaces
Primary frame/material system
Roof/wall/envelope and insulation pathway
Openings/doors/services coordination
Fire/acoustic/HVAC/lighting interfaces
Foundation/anchoring and drainage responsibilities
Manufacturing, QA, freight, erection and handover
05 · TENDER / RFP SCHEDULE
Ask bidders for the same controlled information.
A consistent schedule makes technical comparison easier and reduces hidden assumptions.
Project location and use
Dimensioned plan/section requirements
Design wind/snow/seismic criteria
Envelope and insulation schedule
Opening/door schedule
Services and internal fit-out interfaces
Structural evidence and drawing requirements
Foundation/anchoring responsibility matrix
Freight/site access/erection programme
Warranty, inspection and maintenance
06 · OPERATIONS & HANDOVER
Specify how the system will be maintained after delivery.
Maintenance, spares, records and inspection should be defined before purchase, especially for remote or high-use projects.
Primary-frame visual inspection
Membrane/envelope inspection and cleaning
Connection/fastener/anchor inspection
Doors/openings/hardware service
Drainage and water-management checks
Coating/corrosion inspection where relevant
Storm/high-wind operating procedure for applicable elements
Maintenance log, spare parts and periodic structural review
DOWNLOADABLE PROJECT RESOURCE
Carry the authority pack into the project file.
Export the current project-control structure, then replace planning statements with exact project/system information as the design develops.
