To demonstrate competency in this course you need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard.

Assessment Task 1 - Research Presentation (summative)
Present research on Boutique Hotels and Carlton precinct to develop the brief
Submission due Session 2, Week 3

Assessment Task 2 - Concept Presentation (summative)
Presentation of design concept for refurbishment proposal using multi-media skills
Submission due Session 1, Week 5

Assessment Task 3 - Pesentation Boards (formative)
Oral presentation of final design concept including Presentation Boards showing proposed plans, elevations, perspective drawings and selected FF&E and materials.
Submission due Session 1, Week 11

Assessment Task 4 - Documentation Package and Project File (summative)
Documentation to include site plan, elevations, sections, details and Schedules. Project File to include Budget, Programme Schedule, Contracts and Client communications.
Submission due Session 2, Week 16
