It is the cost estimator’s task to determine how the building design influences construction costs. Estimators must account for how and when features of building product models affect the project’s activities, resources, and resource productivity rates that form the basis of a cost estimate. Without explicitly representing estimators’ rationale for relating product and cost information in the c...

The increasing awareness and requirement for sustainability in undergraduate programmes has led to the development of a Design of Sustainable Engineering Systems (DSES) theme throughout the Newcastle University undergraduate programmes. This case study focuses on the development of the level 6 module in DSES. This module is a 40-credit design-based module that integrates all of the formal taugh...

The delivery of civil engineering projects requires civil engineers to address a broad spectrum of issues generated by both project participants and regulatory agencies. Providing tools that assist team members in addressing these issues through the use of information and knowledge from previous projects may reduce project errors by creating informed decision-makers. Recent advances in communic...

nale Capture and Use took place on 15 July in San Jose, California. The goal of the workshop was to bring together people interested in design rationale management and promote interaction among them. Participants were selected from different parts of academia (computer science, human-computer interaction, management, civil engineering, mechanical engineering) as well as from industry. This arti...
