摘要: Abstract Building design and material type used are the two main parameters that have a significant impact on cost of building. Therefore, it is important for estimating tool to mechanism allows designer perform rapid `what if' analysis alternatives materials selection at early planning stage without accompaniment detailed drawings. However, traditional procedures generally focus assessing costs after decisions made conveyed construction drawing as quantity take off. On other hand, comparative (unit per square meter) uses historical data collected by averaging buildings different designs, heights materials. Even today's computer aided (CAD) software incorporates off quantities from completed designs basically they same because single specified still controls resulting costs, there no alternative integrated system. This article presents an knowledge-based system decisions, mainly pre-design analysis. The also includes after-detailed providing edit tables inputting dimensions building elements drawings or directly importing CAD. generates activities quantities, lists selected their respective quantities. An residential using presented.
