Abstract:
To consider disassembly from project inception is becoming an essential part of the design process. This approach enables the reuse and recycling of materials at the end of the life cycle of buildings, reducing the need for raw materials to produce new products whilst increasing a buildings flexibility during any potential reconfiguration. In general, the design phase of construction projects tends to focus efforts on constructability, with the value of disassembly only becoming apparent during the decommissioning of a building. Addressing this knowledge gap, this research explores the structuring of DfD information enabled by BIM to support integrated design decision-making in construction. This applied research project is inherently exploratory and based on design science research. Primary data was collected through case-study research, informing the development of an integrated DfD information model for measuring disassembly levels, restricted to the most common materials and construction systems. This research presents both a contribution to practice, by developing an information model structure to support DfD and integrated design, also to DfD knowledge by proposing a disassembly classification system.
