Reducing waste in high rise residential building by information modelling at the design stage

posted on 2009-07-20, 10:30 authored by Andrew Baldwin, Simon Austin, Chi-Sun Poon, Li-Yin Shen, Irene WongHigh-rise building is characterized by its repetitive design in floor plan which is compartmentalized into
individual units. The design of high-rise buildings is different from other forms of residential and
commercial buildings because of the repetition of construction and the cycle-time for the completion of
each floor. This paper describes research that has been carried out to investigate how information
modelling and an optimization technique known as Design Structure Matrix, DSM, application can
increase the design efficiency of a repetitive high-rise building for both private and publically funded
buildings. These benefits are accrued for both ’first generation’ and subsequent ’repeat’ buildings. In
addition to helping to eliminate ’waste’ within the design process the techniques contribute to the
elimination of waste within the construction process by eliminating.
