Design Guides

The following are standardized design guides developed for HQ Air Force Services. They have been developed to a 35% design and are intended for planning purposes only. You will notice a difference in the square footages (SF) mentioned in the Design Analyses and the Cost Estimates. The design Analysis works in terms of Assignable or Net SF while the Cost Estimate deals with Gross SF. Assignable SF does not include wall thicknesses because construction techniques can vary from base to base. Also, covered porches are not included in the Assignable calculations. The Gross SF includes both the wall thicknesses and covered porches. Design Projects
