Building construction - Modular coordination - Modular floor plane for vertical dimensions

Defines three positions of the modular floor plane as reference plane for vertical modular dimensions in building design and gives rules for the position of the floor in relation to this plane. Applies to the construction of buildings of all types designed in accordance with the principles and rules of modular coordination as laid down in ISO 2848.

Overview

ISO 6511:1982 is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) focusing on modular coordination in building construction. Specifically, it addresses the modular floor plane for vertical dimensions, defining three key positions of the modular floor plane used as a reference for vertical modular measurements within building design. This standard ensures consistent vertical dimension coordination in construction projects adhering to modular principles as set in ISO 2848.

The standard applies broadly to all building types and provides clear rules for the vertical positioning of floors relative to the reference modular floor plane, facilitating improved dimensional coordination and structural planning.

Key Topics

  • Modular Floor Plane Definition
    The modular floor plane is a horizontal reference plane that is continuous throughout each floor level of a building. It may coincide with one of three positions:

    • The upper surface of the finished floor covering
    • The upper surface of the raw (unfinished) floor
    • The upper surface of the floor's load-bearing part
  • Vertical Dimension Coordination
    ISO 6511 defines how vertical dimensions in modular construction should be referenced to this modular floor plane, providing a uniform basis for building height and level measurements.

  • Application of Modular Coordination Principles
    The standard aligns with the principles and rules outlined in ISO 2848, which governs modular coordination in building design. It ensures that vertical dimensions correspond systematically to this modular framework, reducing inconsistencies and improving construction accuracy.

  • Floor Positioning Rules
    The standard outlines rules for how the actual floor structure should be positioned relative to the modular floor plane. These rules support consistency in design and construction by accounting for variations in floor materials and structural elements.

Applications

  • Architectural and Structural Design
    Architects and engineers use ISO 6511 to standardize floor height references across different building projects, facilitating clear communication and integration of design components.

  • Modular Building Systems
    The standard is essential in modular construction systems where components are prefabricated and assembled on site. It supports precise vertical dimensioning, which is crucial for modular coordination and compatibility.

  • Coordination Across Disciplines
    By providing a common vertical reference plane, ISO 6511 enhances collaboration between disciplines such as architecture, structural engineering, HVAC, and interior design, all of whom rely on accurate vertical dimensions.

  • Construction Quality Control
    Construction managers and surveyors employ the modular floor plane to verify that floors are built according to specified tolerances and modular dimensions, ensuring structural integrity and compliance.

Related Standards

  • ISO 2848: Modular Coordination - Principles and Rules
    This foundational standard sets out the modular coordination principles that ISO 6511 extends into vertical dimensioning, including module sizes and overall coordination frameworks.

  • ISO 1791: Modular Coordination - Vocabulary
    ISO 6511 references this standard for consistent terminology related to modular coordination, ensuring clarity and uniform understanding across international projects.

Benefits of ISO 6511:1982

  • Improved dimensional consistency in vertical building measurements
  • Enhanced integration with modular architectural systems
  • Reduced construction errors and rework due to clear reference planes
  • Facilitated international collaboration through standardized definitions
  • Support for flexible design accommodating floor finish variations

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards institutes (ISO member bodies). The work of developing Inter-
national Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up has the
right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council.
International Standard ISO 6511 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 59,
Building construction, and was circulated to the member bodies in December 1978.
