An object-oriented project model for integrating building design, construction scheduling, and cost estimating for mid-rise construction
In this study a project model for integrating building design, construction scheduling, and cost estimating at the preliminary design stage was developed and analyzed. The project model is developed in an object-oriented environment. The project model accepts a set of preliminary design parameters …

Dynamic Planning and control Methodology : understanding and managing iterative error and change cycles in large-scale concurrent design and construction projects
Construction projects are uncertain and complex in nature. One of the major driving forces that may account for these characteristics is iterative cycles caused by errors and changes. Errors and changes worsen project performance and consequently, cause schedule and cost overruns to be prevalent. …

The impact of CAAD on design methodology and visual thinking in architectural education.
… CAAD alongside other media, such as sketching, model making and verbalisation must be recognised before the forthcoming leap in CAAD programs development. To illustrate these ideas, the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment was used as a case study to explore CAADs role …
