- Development of a platform for building design, validation, and optimization of modules transportationPublication . Italiano, Enzo Dornelles; Alves, Paulo; Fernandes, José Eduardo; Foleiss, Juliano HenriqueIn a world where each day is becoming more intertwined with technology, numerous companies strive to discover solutions for new project developments or enhance existing complex systems. Their aim is to reduce material wastage, energy consumption, labor dependency, project timelines, and overall costs. A recent trend in civil construction is to use pre-fabricated components such as walls, beams, columns, and other components. These components can be implemented in many different types of buildings and along with technology the system can save information about them, preventing risks during the construction, reducing costs for the companies, and improving the efficiency of the company as also being the producers of the components. The development of this API was carried out using the Python programming language, which facilitated rapid development. It leveraged the FastAPI framework, offering the flexibility to create diverse methods for validating structural and architectural regulations for buildings. The API also provides an estimate of the required pre-fabricated components for construction. Additionally, it incorporates optimization for cargo loading, a pivotal aspect of civil engineering. A genetic algorithm is employed to identify the optimal solution for fitting components within a container. This not only enhances delivery times but also reduces costs by avoiding unnecessary containers. As a comprehensive system designed for the market, this API includes endpoints for essential web app functionalities. It aims to prevent user errors and has been rigorously tested and approved by architects specialized in buildings featuring pre-fabricated components. Any identified errors have already been rectified.
- Online platform for home design and project management in modular constructionPublication . Santos, Vinicius Belloli dos; Italiano, Enzo Dornelles; Alves, Paulo; Fernandes, José Eduardo; Pimenta, Fernando Alves; Pereira, Nelson Bento; Ferreira, Nuno OliveiraThe construction industry is currently facing the challenges of intensifying global competition, increasing market volatility, increasing product differentiation, and shortening product life cycles. In this context, versatile production concepts with modular structures promise a better adaptation to these dynamic boundary conditions in terms of quantity production, product variety, and manufacturing location. Modular construction has significant advantages over traditional on-site construction in terms of material efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Therefore, specialized software for building design is one of the critical aspects of modular construction. This work presents the development of an online platform for the design of buildings using modular construction. The main features of this platform are the 2D home design with 3D visualization, using BIM approaches, the validation of architectural rules and system limits taking into consideration the design and legal framework, and the management of orders and workflows for sustainable construction. The validation of architecture rules and system limits allows the use of the platform by final clients to design their houses and obtain the budget and the construction viability based on modular construction. After, an architect can assume the final design and legal approvement of the project.
