2.3 Using the Design Guide
Use this IDG in determining the general design and construction considerations inherent in the preparation of project plans. The IDG provides design guidelines and Army-wide design standards intended to be used in all maintenance, repair, renovation and new construction projects. The IDG applies to all projects, regardless of the funding source. The following steps illustrate how the design guide is used for the preparation of plans for new construction, renovation, maintenance and repair projects on the installation. Step 1: Review the Installation Profile information included in Section 4. Step 2: Review the IDG analysis criteria information in Section 3 including design goals and objectives, visual elements, and design principles. Step 3: Review the applicable references, guidelines, and standards of the design components. These include site planning, buildings, circulation, landscaping, site elements and force protection and are discussed in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 respectively. Step 4: Review the information and description of the installation themes in Section 5. Step 5: Select the zone where the project will be located from Section 5, Visual Themes and Zones. Review the assets, liabilities, and recommendations for that zone. Step 6: Select the appropriate guidelines or standards from the design components addressed in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 respectively. Step 7: Assemble all materials gathered in steps 1 through 6 above. Step 8: Review Appendices, for example Appendix B contains a Fort Carson specific project checklist with information on such things as dig permits, utility connections information, and electrical standards. Appendix D contains sustainable design information. You will also find Interior Finish requirements and Exterior Material Colors.
