Detailed topics include design strategies; usability and adaptability; feedback for the design team, client and contractors; material, component and systems performance; alternative and new technologies; organizational, management and resource issues; human factors; environmental and health issues; cost and life cycle issues; buildability; building procurement and selection criteria; sustainability criteria, measurement and practices; risk management; construction law, regulation and governance; management and validation of facilities in use; implementing, managing and practising innovation; visualisation and information technologies; identifying user and/or market needs.

Diagrams and drawings should be drawn in black Indian ink on white card or tracing paper or alternatively be high quality laser computer print-outs from reputable computer software drawing packages.
Figures will normally be reduced in size on reproduction and authors should draw with this in mind. With a reduction of 2:1 in mind the authors should use lines not less than 0.2Smm thick, and upper and lower case lettering, the capitals of which should be 4mm high. Typewritten annotations are not acceptable. Photographs should ideally be black and white glossy prints.
