Summary: | The authors argue that the design development procedure and the technology-based preparation
for the renovation of buildings and the engineering infrastructure are to be considered as a
comprehensive process to be automated. One of the main problems that accompany the process
of budgeting and scheduling of renovation projects consists in incidental expenses for extra repairs,
as they are difficult to project. The authors suggest developing a specialized computer aided design
system capable of simulating the building renovation procedure. This methodology is available in the
Russian legislation dealing with the renovation activities; it covers supplementary activities and helps
experts make efficient decisions aimed at saving construction materials, time and human resources.
The subsystems of the CAD software facility responsible for the planning of renovation works
include a database, a database management system, a decision making subsystem, a decision
synthesis subsystem, a decision analysis system (decision retrospection), a decision evaluation
system and other subsystems.
