STANDARD Design Catalogue CONSTRUCTION Eng . Mohamed Eltayeb NFI, Shelter & Construction Advisor PREFACE No doubt each construction building has specific feature and must be designed to suite specific context and there is no one design solution that can be suitable for all context However, during the emergency setting, international organization adopted to use temporary shelter construction as the best solution while for mid - term and long term context NGOs adopted the use of semi - permanent and permanent construction building Indeed, the shelter and construction program should be designed towards more durable solutions considering the issue of climate change and the use of available materials, skills and smart building techniques Under this framework SCI developed standard design catalogue for construction building to be as a guidance for field offices in the phase of planning and designing shelter and construction sector The standard design catalogue is a collection of a variety design of shelter and construction works which can be used across Sudan Table of Content 1 Introduction ........................................................................................................ 5 2 .
