Opportunities for computer-aided design for construction
Many organizational approaches and technological opportunities are available or under development to improve the integration of design and construction. The opportunities offered by information technology are especially promising. Combining organizational approaches with state-of-the-art technologies in a systematic manner will allow firms to derive the full benefits of computer-aided design for construction. The present paper describes a framework that helps researchers and practitioners approach computer-aided design for construction systematically. The framework identifies six interactions between design and construction. It is based on frame-works for design for manufacture and on an analysis of current building practice. Design for manufacture has proven most effective when integrated into a cyclical product development process. The present framework serves as a road map for the building industry to formalize its information flows, to integrate design for construction into its linear facility delivery process and to approach a more cyclical delivery process.
