Architectural design aspects in the detailed design
Thread Content
Dear design experts, the project is currently in the application phase, and **a complete set of building drawings are required for review and other procedures. If design work cannot proceed simultaneously with construction, it will** affect the project’s timeline. In the detailed design of petrochemical projects, what types of information do the architectural design professionals need from upstream disciplines? Can architectural design be carried out at an early stage?
The general layout team provides: building name, elevation, building axis, floor area, etc； The manufacturer provides information such as the number of production shifts, staffing quota, and gender ratio ； The process engineering field provides design criteria such as fire and explosion hazards (production category, media, fire resistance rating), operating environment (hygiene level, harmful media or dust, noise, temperature, humidity), corrosion characteristics, vibration characteristics, and lightning protection rating.
The architectural design of chemical plant projects differs from that of residential or commercial buildings; generally, the architectural design lags far behind the process design (or other disciplines related to the process field). Therefore. In the preliminary stage of project application, it is necessary to establish good relations with the local housing and construction authorities, explain the characteristics of chemical plant construction, and gain the understanding of the approval authorities.

In addition to communicating with **, I am preparing a proposal to ** to report the situation. Additionally, from a design perspective, can some of the work be done ahead of time?
Strictly speaking, the fire protection design review can only be applied for after the drawing review is completed, and construction can only begin on site once the fire protection design review is finished. The key point is that during the drawing review phase, blueprints for the architecture, structure, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems must already be prepared. Any construction work started before the fire protection design review is approved constitutes unauthorized construction
Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued a document titled \"Notice on Carrying Out Pilot Projects for Reforming the Approval System for Engineering Construction Projects,\" deciding to conduct such pilots in 16 pilot areas, including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenyang, Dalian, Nanjing, Xiamen, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Guiyang, Weinan, Yan’an, and Zhejiang Province. The notice requires that by 2018, the pilot areas should establish a framework for the approval process of engineering construction projects as well as a management system, with the approval time being reduced by more than half ； In 2019, reforms were carried out nationwide to improve the approval process for engineering construction projects; by the first half of that year, the approval time was reduced to 120 working days ； By 2020, a unified national system for the approval and management of engineering construction projects was basically established.
It seems that some areas in Jiangsu have carried out pilot projects in this regard; the approval time for industrial registration projects has been reduced from the time of online registration to 28 days, though this refers only to the approval time. Additionally, the standard time for drawing review is 7 working days; however, it is likely that handling this process will still not resolve the conflict between the progress of the drawings and the construction work
