DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATIC MODELING AND DESIGN DOCUMENTATION PROGRAM FOR PREFABRICATED EMERGENCY TEMPORARY HOUSING UNITS USING BIM

Abstract

To shorten the period until emergency temporary housing is put into service after a disaster occurs, it is necessary to automate the design of prefabricated emergency temporary housing units. In this paper, we have developed and evaluated a program that runs on BIM, which automatically creates BIM design models of prefabricated emergency temporary housing units and design documents based on them with as little manual operation as possible. As a result, 88% prefabricated building components and 55% non-prefabricated building components were correctly calculated automatically, and the drawing preparation time was reduced by 70% compared to the conventional method.
