ABSTRACT
The SINTEF Building
Research Design Guides are a series of Norwegian building technical
recommendations. The design guides are highly reputed and widely used in the
Norwegian construction sector, serving as a link between the technical
regulations and the design process of the individual construction project. This
paper examines the element of risk in the use of multiple design guides to
extract information about a topic not explicitly covered by any single guide,
using the example of blue-green roofs. The research has been conducted in the form of a
document study. While the advice given in the design guides is both valid and
coherent, the amount of information presented is likely to be overwhelming for
industry professionals. There are great degrees of awareness of quality risk
present in the individual design guides, but an overall risk picture is not
presented. Input from the fields
of project management and psychology can help develop risk awareness
strategies. The design guides may
benefit from an aggregate level of information, where main technical challenges
are grouped into super-level categories.
KEYWORDS
