The guide is revised to the requirement specified in Code of Practice on Buildable Design September 2005, and has incorporated changes affecting projects with planning applications made on or after 1st January 2007. Interpretation on the terms and method of measurement/computation are included to ensure that the buildability scores are computed by the industry in a consistent manner. More examples of buildable design scoring are given to illustrate the computation sequence and methodology. The buildability score of a design consists of 3 main parts: Part 1: Structural Systems (maximum 50 points); Part 2: Wall Systems (maximum 40 points); Part 3: Other Buildable Design Features (maximum 10 points + bonus points for single integrated components) Indices for structural systems are indicated in Table 1. Indices for wall systems are indicated in Table 2. Buildability points for other buildable design features are indicated in Table 3.

Once a project is affected by the buildability legislation (GFA of at least 2000 square metres), then depending on the amount of GFA involved and the category of building work, the corresponding minimum buildability score as set out in the Code of Practice on Buildable Design (COP) will apply. For new developments, the GFA would be as spelt out in the planning permission issued by URA, including any bonus GFA granted (e.g. for balconies etc). This GFA shall be the final and regularised GFA as verified by URA. In the case of projects involving additions and alterations (A&A) work, the GFA would be the total GFA of all new floor and/or reconstruction of existing floor. As such, an A&A project could be affected by the legislation even if there is no increase in GFA to the existing building or the increase in total GFA of the existing development is less than 2000 square metres as illustrated by the following examples:- Example 1 Proposed A&A to an existing industrial development involving change of use and a new extension In this example, there is a decrease in GFA of 2000 m2 of the existing building due to the change of use of part of the building from warehouse to carpark. At the same time, there is an increase in GFA of 2000 m2 to the existing building from the new side extension. Overall, there is no increase in the total GFA of the A&A project. However, the above project is subjected to the buildability legislation. This is because the legislation looks at GFA of constructed floors, whether new or reconstructed. The amount of GFA in this case is 2000 m2 (assuming that there is no work done for the portion of the building undergoing a change of use). PLAN Existing Building Change of use from warehouse to carpark (affected GFA = 2000 m2) New extension with GFA = 2000 m2 Sep 2005 (rev Jan 07) Guide to the Buildable Design Appraisal System  3 Example 2 Proposed A&A and addition of a new mezzanine floor and 2 new storeys to an existing 7-storey commercial building In this example, the net change in GFA of the existing development is 1350 m2 while the total GFA of new and reconstructed floors is 2950 m2. The breakdown of the respective GFA is as shown in the table below. Net Change in GFA Total GFA of new and reconstructed floors Re-layout of 1st storey - 900 m2 0 m2 New mezzanine floor + 300 m2 + 300 m2 Reconstruction of 8th storey no change in GFA + 700 m2 Construction of 2 new floors + 1950 m2 + 1950 m2 Total GFA +1350 m2 + 2950 m2 As in Example 1, by virtue of the definition of GFA in the context of A&A work, the above project is subjected to the buildable design legislation since the total GFA of the new and reconstructed floors is 2950 m2. This is despite the increase in the total GFA of the existing building being only 1350 m2 which is less than 2000 m2. roof 9th storey mezzanine 3rd storey 8th storey 7th storey 6th storey 5th storey 4th storey 1st storey reconstruction of part of existing floor involving GFA of 700 m2 new mezzanine floor with GFA of 300 m2 re-layout of existing floor with GFA of 900 m2 less 2 new floors with GFA of 1950 m2 2nd storey Sep 2005 (rev Jan 07) Guide to the Buildable Design Appraisal System  4 2 Constructed Floor Area Once a project is subjected to the minimum buildability score requirement, all constructed floor areas (including reconstructed floor areas) are to be considered when computing the project buildability score (except minor structures as defined in item 6). The constructed floor area is also used to derive the overall buildability score of a project comprising multiple blocks, by pro-rating the buildabilty scores of each of the blocks with its constructed floor area and summing up the pro-rated scores (please also refer to item 7). 3 Minimum Buildability Score Different minimum buildability scores are given for different categories of development.
