Abstract
In the context of membrane architecture it is a necessity that design teams of people with different expertise collaborate in an integrated design process. Knowledge in geometric design, engineering, installation, and costing as well as understanding of their correlation is fundamental for the success of membrane projects. Especially cost estimation is often neglected in the early design stage. As a consequence decision makers cannot reason over the realization of a project until very late. The result is, time and money are spent without knowing the future of the project. For their intentions and ideas to be realized, it is crucial for designers to have knowledge about the expected costs and the economic influence of various design parameters already at the very beginning of a project. A software tool that gives the designer an instant cost estimation of the current design could provide valuable knowledge about how to optimize the costs and bring the original design intention into reality. Surveying and quantifying the parameters within the designer’s sphere of influence was the basis to create an interactive tool integrated into the “Formfinder” design software for membrane lightweight structures. This paper discusses those parameters the designer can control in this early stage of a project. The results of cost estimations of membrane roofs with different constraints will show their influence on the project costs. Furthermore a short description of our software tool will be given.
