Multi-dwelling and community residential building delivery

1. Scope and Applicability

The product is the physical residential building delivered at its actual site: buildings with three or more dwellings, and residential buildings for communities such as elderly/student residences, workers’ hostels, orphanages and homeless shelters. Community residences are included by their residential function, not by inventing three self-contained dwellings. Hospitals, hotels, construction services and loose building components are outside this category; mixed uses require documented applicability and separately identified scope. No particular structure, height, lift, kitchen or care equipment is universally mandatory.

The foreground covers actual site preparation, foundation/structure, envelope, declared fixed installations and fit-out, site logistics, testing and acceptance. Complete, shell-and-core and other delivery states must be distinguished. Whole-building accounting includes common circulation, stairs, shared cores, actual central services and community spaces delivered in the contract. Upstream construction-product manufacture is separately linked; delivery transport and site construction remain distinguishable. Operational utilities, actual later maintenance/replacements, demolition and final waste destinations are excluded later stages, not a hidden assumed lifetime. A construction inventory alone is neither a complete cradle-to-gate nor a whole-life assessment.

2. Product Category Identity

Field	Value
canonical_pcr_id	pcr.constructions-and-construction-services.constructions.multi-dwelling-and-community-building-delivery
classification_refs	CPC 3.0 53112
covered_products	Delivered multi-dwelling buildings and community residential buildings, with all declared private/common fixed works
excluded_products	One-/two-dwelling houses; non-residential institutions; hotels; mobile accommodation; construction/renovation services; loose materials and equipment
representative_product	One surveyed residential building with its actual dwelling/room/capacity schedule and common facilities
production_route	Actual masonry, concrete, steel, timber or mixed assembly; site and prefabrication gates explicitly recorded; no generic recipe
market_state	Immovable residential asset at signed physical delivery condition

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	Provide the delivered physical building for its documented residential/community use
How much	One whole building; actual dwelling/room count, resident capacity, gross internal floor area, private residential area, common circulation/facility area, footprint, storeys and dimensions
How well	As-built structural/envelope specification, private/common installations, accessibility/fire/service performance specified by the project and documented inspection; no inferred legal approval
How long or cycle	One construction-and-handover cycle; no default service life or dwelling-years. Later service comparisons require evidence-backed periods and scenarios
reference_flow_link	reference_building

Field	Value
Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Completed multi-dwelling or community residential building
Reference flow property	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345
Reference unit group	Units of items 5beb6eed-33a9-47b8-9ede-1dfe8f679159
Reference unit	item
Required qualifiers	project/site; residential use; dwelling/room count and actual capacity; survey method and area breakdown; structure/foundation and ground conditions; height/storeys; as-built materials; private/common delivery completeness; central plant capacities and served zones; accessibility/fire acceptance records; shared basement/site attribution; dates; upstream and A4/A5 coverage; excluded later stages

item denotes the public Item(s) unit: one building, not one apartment or resident. Required qualifiers must be present in the actual dataset. Building area is surveyed descriptive geometry, not an assumed conversion of housing function. The reference UUID is unresolved because the named public category uses Mass and no building-specific mass-to-count evidence is established. Do not rewrite that public property or invent a building mass.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_count	reference product	Number of items 01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345	item	Use cp_handover for one actual accepted whole building. All exchanges use the same declared reference flow; apartment counts never multiply common structure burdens.
geometry	reference product	Area 93a60a56-a3c8-19da-a746-0800200c9a66	m2	Collect cp_geometry survey definitions and private/common/service area breakdown. Reconcile included floor plates without double-counting corridors; keep footprint, gross internal and usable areas distinct. Area reporting is supplementary and cannot imply equal dwelling function.
energy	lv_electricity; mv_electricity; site_diesel	Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66	MJ	Preserve actual Net calorific value property and reference energy unit. Metered electricity kWh is multiplied by 3.6 to MJ; fuel requires actual batch net calorific value and measured mass/density. No default fuel factor.
physical_quantities	all inventory rows	Actual row reference property	row unit	Retain each measured mass, area, volume, item or transport quantity in its real property. Conversions need material-specific measurements, thickness/density and physical-state evidence; volume of soil or washwater is not abstracted-resource water.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Recorded initial site and supplied product gates, including actual enabling works and retained structures
starting_condition_role	foreground_start
product_classification_scope	Multi-dwelling and community residential physical building entity
recursive_input_rule	A retained/reused same-category structure is a separately identified existing asset input with declared burdens and condition, not a second new whole-building output
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link every actual supplied atomic material/component to unit/state/gate-compatible manufacturing evidence; identify missing supplier/background coverage
disclosure	Separate upstream manufacture, inbound transport, site construction, initial demolition if any, waste routing and excluded use/maintenance/final demolition; declare common/site works attribution

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
boundary_delivery	all inventory rows	Account for the delivered whole entity and every actually occurring exchange in shell, core, private and communal works. These conditional rows are minimum inspection prompts, not a closed universal bill of materials. Add separate atomic rows for actual roof coverings, fittings, stairs, external works, heat/cooling plant, community kitchens, security/fire systems and their specific materials when present. No alternative is silently substituted or omitted.	jrc-levels-boq-2021; rics-wlca-2024
boundary_stages	dataset	Manufacture of installed equipment/materials is upstream; fitting, lifting, site conditioning, pressure tests and commissioning are foreground. Operation, real future maintenance/renewal and final dismantling are separately scoped later stages. Initial site demolition and clearance are construction-enabling activities when actually undertaken, not future demolition. Disclose missing A1–A3/A4/A5 coverage.	rics-wlca-2024
boundary_common	common_facilities	Include actual shared stairs, cores, plant rooms and residential-community facilities in the whole-building ledger, even if separately contracted. Identify central systems and served zones. For linked buildings with shared basements, establish a combined assessment ledger before attributing building shares; disclose the parent assessment and conservation. Do not hide all shared works outside private apartment area.	rics-wlca-2024
boundary_releases	site_utilities	Record technical supplied water separately from natural resource intake; track dewatering returns by destination and chemistry. Washout liquid/solids are not freshwater. Inventory actual direct exhaust/dust/discharges only with release evidence; assess construction noise using actual equipment/receptor/time evidence and disclose characterization gaps without inventing a mass flow.	epa-concrete-washout-2012; epa-construction-dust-2010

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
allocation_whole	dataset	The reference is one building. Private apartments/rooms, cores and common facilities are components, not co-products automatically requiring division by dwelling count. Keep the whole-building inventory. Supplementary dwelling/room reports must preserve the building total and identify common-space assignment.	rics-wlca-2024
allocation_shared	all inventory rows	First subdivide meters, deliveries and work packages to avoid allocation. Where shared basements, utilities or central facilities serve multiple buildings/uses, record their complete common ledger once, then justify shares by actual physical service, measured GIA, occupancy/capacity or other evidenced use relationships. No universal equal-per-dwelling or area ratio is prescribed. Declare numerator/denominator and unmatched uses; all assigned and unassigned shares reconcile to one, with sensitivity if the relation is uncertain.	rics-wlca-2024; ghg-allocation-2011
allocation_reuse	plywood_formwork; site_utilities	Keep asset identifiers for reused formwork, scaffolding and equipment. Manufacturing burdens use evidenced total lifetime activity/reuses and actual project deployment; transport, repairs, losses and end-of-life remain explicit. Cumulative manufacturing shares across projects, periods and reuse shall not exceed one; an observation period may allocate only its attributable manufacturing share. Unknown lifetime/total activity is a review gap, never a reset to full manufacture per project.	rics-wlca-2024; ghg-allocation-2011
allocation_waste	waste_transfer	Record actual waste transfer, treatment coverage and recovered-product destination separately; do not treat construction scrap as an automatic avoided-production credit. Declare recycling allocation and supplier gate overlap consistently.	ghg-allocation-2011

fuel_conversion	site_diesel	Use measured fuel mass and batch net calorific value for MJ; litres require batch/site density at recorded conditions. Actual carbon/oxidation evidence determines the fossil CO2 component independently.	cp_site_utilities	fuel MJ per declared reference flow
freight_legs	road_freight	For each actual leg multiply documented payload tonnes by travelled km and sum attributable legs. Report allocation/empty returns and exclude legs already in supplier data.	cp_inbound_delivery	t*km per declared reference flow	rics-wlca-2024

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
quality_completeness	dataset	Reconcile shell/core/external and every private/common work package to delivered scope. Add all actual materials/equipment, route-specific waste and releases absent from these rows. Absence needs documented not-applicable justification; uncollected required quantities are gaps, not zero.	jrc-levels-boq-2021; cp_handover
quality_shared	common_facilities	Retain whole-building and parent shared-facility ledgers, capacity/service evidence and area definitions. Do not equate dwelling count, beds, rooms and residents or silently exclude common areas.	rics-wlca-2024; cp_geometry; cp_common_facilities
quality_representativeness	all inventory rows	Report construction dates, site, supplier technology/region, measured vs modelled amounts, calibration, unmetered periods, uncertainty and upstream compatibility. Distinguish missing measurements/UUIDs from demonstrated absence.	cp_site_utilities; cp_handover
quality_environment	site_utilities; waste_transfer	Direct pollutant estimates require actual source chemistry, medium/submedium, immediate/long-term state and supported engine/soil/weather/treatment conditions. Report noise and water-routing data/characterization gaps; never treat an emission name as proof of occurrence.	epa-construction-dust-2010; epa-concrete-washout-2012

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
validate_identity	reference_building	Verify the residential/community category and one real whole-building output, signed delivery state, actual count/capacity and all qualifiers. A room or construction service cannot use this reference identity.	un-cpc-3-53112
validate_geometry_shared	dataset	Check measured private/common/service area categories and conventions against as-built plans; reconcile all assigned shared facility/basement burdens and total project quantities. Any supplementary occupant/dwelling attribution must preserve whole-building totals and disclose its actual basis.	rics-wlca-2024
validate_atomic_units	all inventory rows	Check each single physical/chemical exchange, exact public reference property/unit group, conditional applicability, collection protocol and common denominator in both languages. Blank UUID identities remain registered gaps; a near label never authorizes substitution.
validate_stages	dataset	Verify manufacture linkage, transport and construction coverage separately; no full cradle-to-gate/full-life claim when stages or required quantities are missing. Acceptance evidence does not establish PCR scientific approval or local occupancy permission.	rics-wlca-2024
validate_releases	site_utilities; waste_transfer	Check fossil/bio origin, NO vs NO2/N2O, nonoverlapping particulate fractions, natural intake vs technical water/wastewater and actual receiving medium. Prevent background combustion/treatment duplication and preserve unresolved required environmental data as incomplete coverage.	epa-concrete-washout-2012; epa-construction-dust-2010
validate_asset_shares	plywood_formwork; site_utilities	Verify reused-asset identity, lifetime-activity evidence and cumulative manufacturing shares across projects/periods not exceeding one. Missing denominators require review rather than resetting asset manufacture.	rics-wlca-2024; ghg-allocation-2011

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	foreground_dataset
downstream_use	secondary_dataset; background_dataset
allowed_use	Declared whole residential/community building construction delivery, with explicit upstream linking and stage coverage; comparisons only with equivalent delivery scope, housing function, geometry and shared facility treatment
excluded_use	Full lifetime/service-year claim; universal kg/building or material recipe; legal approval; construction service; private-apartment-only footprint presented as whole building
required_metadata	All reference qualifiers; private/common and parent assessment registers; actual structure/route; acceptance scope; stage and upstream gates; actual data/calibration/allocation sources
required_quality_disclosure	Measured/modelled scope, missing upstream and quantities, unresolved identities, environmental/characterization gaps, representativeness, shared/reused asset allocation uncertainty and excluded later stages
update_trigger	Changes to use/capacity/dwelling configuration, site/geometry, common installations, delivery state, structural route, suppliers, measured records or evidence status
