title = "Specifying an integrated software design support system for renovation practice",
abstract = "Renovation projects require multidisciplinary design teams and specialist contractors to successfully complete the design and construction work. Designers undertake renovation specific design processes and make numerous design decisions throughout the course of a project based on the design information of the building product model. This information relates to the existing physical structure of the building, its environment and its intended use and design specification. This paper specifies an integrated software environment to manage such design information and to support the design team in decision-making. The decision making of the structural engineer is primarily addressed with a multidisciplinary collaborative viewpoint towards the design solution. The paper specifies a case-based design tool that supports the decision-making process associated with renovation practice and a high-level object model is presented for the support tool.",
