| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to present proper VE application methods to early design phases. Since VE methodology is more effective on early stage of design phase, the study focused on application of VE methodology in early stage of design process. With the examination of past studies, obstacles of VE application in domestic construction industry are defined. To solve these problems, this paper presents (1) subdivision of VE execution time, (2) an appropriate VE targeting method for construction industry, (3) a resonable and practical function analysis process, and (4) modified design-VE job plan. |
