MIL-HDBK-1036 Bachelor Housing See Notice 1 For Replacement InformationThis military handbook, MIL-HDBK-1036A, provides the basic design criteria for Navy and Marine Corps bachelor housing. It presents guidance for development of designs for bachelor housing, enlisted and officer,taking into account local program operations and requirements, as well as the new Office of the Secretary of Defense OSD Construction Standards. Refer to the Secretary of Defense Memorandum, dated 6 November 1995, in the front of this handbook, before the table of contents.

basis for defining the preliminary design.  This information is intended to support the project engineering phase and the parametric cost estimating and programming (PCE) process.  This includes space planning, site design, selection of the appropriate apartment module, building design, and building elements and concepts found in this handbook.  Unique local requirements concerning building program and design criteria are included in the PCE.  Physical security requirements for facilities are also to be established and included in the design program.

1.2.3        Conceptual Design.  (Approximately 15 percent design completion.)        Once the project requirements are understood, preliminary specifications (basis of design), and cost data serve to set the minimum acceptable quality for the project.  A key to the success of the conceptual design is the use of the customer focused on-site workshop where the customer (bachelor housing management staff, public works staff, activity planners, and end users as appropriate), design agent, and designers develop and agree to the concept for the project.  They also define and

choose an appropriate acquisition strategy.  Ensure project designs conform to the overall project design considerations described in Sections 3 and 4.

1.3       Assignment Standards.  The assignment composition for a project establishes the apartment module type used to compose the design of the building.  For example:  New Navy construction programmed for "permanent party" use would adopt the (1+1) apartment module as its basic design element.

a)  The assignment standards for Navy personnel are described in OPNAVINST 11103.1, Policies and Procedures Governing Bachelor Housing.  Also refer to DOD Manual 4165.63-M, DOD

Housing Management Manual.

b)   The assignment standards for Marine personnel are described in Marine Corps Order (MCO) P11000.22, Facilities Projects Manual.

1.3.1     Permanent Party Construction for New Construction and Renovations.  The criteria described in this handbook is written specifically for new and replacement construction, and may not be altered without official waiver.  The Secretary of Defense Memorandum dated 6 November 1995 applies to new construction (and rehabilitation where feasible).  Designs must meet or exceed the standard for permanent use as follows:
