A Study on Design Conformance Evaluation Model for DfMA Modular Design Recommendation

If different requirements of clients can be reflected on the platform, the DfMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) for improving construction productivity can be effectively utilized. In this study, a design conformance evaluation model has been developed to recommend a design that satisfies users’ requirements on the platform. Thirty samples of modular design proposals that can be recommended to users have been collected, and items discussed with the owner when designing a detached house have been investigated. For each design, the number of items suitable for user requirements has been extracted. After dividing number suitable for user requirements from total number of evaluation items, it has been expressed as a percentage to calculate the degree of Conformance of the design based on user requirements. It is expected that this study will be able to recommend a design suitable for user requirements on the platform.
