Project Result
  • India Project
  • Location: Visakhapatnam, India
  • Purpose: Design houses for victims of cyclone HudHud
  • Requirement: 50 houses (500 square feet/each)
  • Site Panel - Floor plan
  • Site Panel - 3D model
  • Modular
    • Exploded the elements into panels for both walls, beams, and slabs
    • These panels will be prefabricated and then assembled on site
  • Modular - 3D model
  • Modular - The full layout of 50 houses
  • Cost Estimate
After UT receive both the models, They saved model as an IFC document and then uploaded to an online BIM server called Visico for obtaining the data which are required to make the cost estimate and scheduling
UT programed the query codes by Java language for extracting the data from the BIM server. So, The information (such as Area of walls, number of doors, etc.) from the model can be exported to an excel file
    • Cost Estimate - Site Panel (approx. 792,000 Rupees)
The result shows the cost estimate for the site panel construction is 792 thousand Rupees
  • Cost Estimate - Modular (approx. 2,393,000 Rupees)
The modular costs about 2 million Rupees
The two diagram shows the percentage of direct costs for both site panel and modular construction
  • Schedule - Site Panel (28 workdays)
Site Penal takes 28 working days to complete
  • Schedule - Modular (15 workdays)
Modular takes only 15 working days to complete
  • 4D model - Modular 
-- The end of India Project -- 
  • Taiwan Project
  • Location: Xiaolin Village, Taiwan
  • Purpose: Design houses for victims of typhoon Morakot
  • Site Penal - First floor plan
  • Site Penal - Second floor plan
  • Site Penal - 3D model
  • Cost Estimate - Site Panel (1,590,638 Taiwan dollars)
  • Schedule - Site Panel (52 workdays)
-- The end of Taiwan Project --
Discussion Process
The figure describe how we allocated jobs. we seperated into two subgroups. One is called Group A, which is responsible for Taiwan’s project (Xiaolin Village), and the member of which incluld NCKU, YU, and WSU. The other one is called Group B, which is in charge of project in south india (Visakhapatnam), and the member of which incluld IIT, UT, and UW
​Below are our meeting time logs
