How to use this guide ENGINEER
This 1 Pearl Villa Guide is intended to complement the Pearl Villa Rating System, which is the primary reference document for Estidama compliance. This document provides guidance to a design team for achieving the required credits. Key features of the document organization are highlighted below.
hold regular design workshops for collaboration and continuity
Systems Thinking
Enabling true Collaboration and Continuity within the design and development team. By discussing project goals early on and meeting face-to-face as a single group, the project team will be able to coordinate work smoothly and make decisions more rapidly.
develop an implementation strategy for continuity
modelling

The IDP process should be coordinated by a member of the design team who has been certified as a Pearl Villa Rating System Professional. It is not necessary that this person be a dedicated sustainability consultant. They could be any member of the design team who has received the villa certification. More information about this certification is available about this at www. estidama.org.

Submission
Every member of the project team should contribute to the design. In order to develop more integrative ideas, team members should consider themselves collaborators in the design, even before the Architect even puts pen to paper. Although the Contractor is typically involved later in the process, they should be involved as early as possible.

Promoting System Thinking when developing strategies and solutions. By considering the interconnections between each discipline, the project team can deliver a high performing building more creatively, and without expensive technological “add ons.�
building systems
The project team should consider several points as it organizes its work: Each member of the team should become familiar with Estidama and the One-Pearl requirements under the Villa Rating System. This is available on the Estidama website (www.estidama.org).
CONTRACTOR
(project PQP) vision
efficient designs
A villa project team in its simplest form will be comprised of an Owner, an Architect, an Engineer and a Contractor. Typically the Contractor will be responsible for all subcontractors. Specialists may also be brought onboard to undertake specialized work in areas such as sustainability, landscape architecture, interior design, ecology or energy modelling.
Context
Defining a Sustainability Framework with clear vision and objectives and specific indicators and targets to monitor ongoing performance. By establishing goals early and holding themselves accountable to these, the project team can meet ambitious goals more efficiently and avoid any incidental slippage in project performance.

The Integrated Development Process (IDP) aims to foster creativity and coordination in the project design and development. Thefore, an IDP should involve all members of project team, especially the client/owner or financial decision maker.
Organise
An IDP can be the foundation of a successful design and development team, bringing out the best input of each member. In particular, once the design team has been assembled, it facilitates the design process by:
As the project team organizes its schedule, an IDP framework should be incorporated into the development process. This framework can be broken down into four steps, which are detailed on the following pages.

ER NE GI EN
Before beginning the design and development process, the team should be organized in a way that integrates the contribution of different trades and specialities. This coordination, called an Integrated Development Process (IDP) in the Pearl Rating System, is simply a framework to support the development of holistic, creative, and efficient design solutions. The Pearls Rating System requires an IDP to extend throughout the project life cycle from inception to design, construction and commissioning.
