CONSTRUCTION PLANNING SYSTEM FOR HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS USING AN OBJECT-BASED MODEL Masaaki Ikeda Yasunari Sekihara andNaoyuki Itoh ABSTRACT: Fujita Corporation, a leading general contractor in Japan, has sought to apply the products of CIC research to middle and high-rise buildings constructed using the PC (precast concrete) method. CIC activities focused on the development of a framework comprised of a family of products that share information for centering around 15-storied steel-frame reinforced concrete (SRC) buildings constructed using the HPC method . This output from the structural design process is manipulated further by other products that support construction planning and management. In this paper, we will explain in detail two products that were developed to generate a product model for buildings and to utilize this information for preliminary construction planning such as the crane selection ,evaluation of scheduling of this , and preliminary cost estimation . Lastly we state about present problem of this framework and a future direction of these systems. KEYWORDS: Computer Integrated Construction , Building Product Model , Construction Planning, Three-Dimensional CAD 1. INTRODUCTION With the current emphasis on re-engineering and the improvement of productivity of white-collar jobs, CIC (Computer Integrated Construction) has been recognized in the Japanese construction industry as a highly effective tool in increasing productivity. The primary objectives to realize CIC are “information sharing” and “cooperative work”. A cooperative work at early design stage is more important especially in industrialization building construction project. Because in industrialization building project , exactmenbers information is necessary in order to designprecast concrete members. Immediately in this case, design to consider the construction condition (production design) is necessary,
