Cost-Based Decision Model for House Interior Design

Abstract

Decision Support System is an interactive computer-based systems that intended to help decision makers compile useful information from raw data, documents, personal knowledge, and/or business models to identify and solve problems and make decisions. The proposed system supports to make decision for interior design of the buildings. This system develops an information model to support cost-based decision making in the interior design phase. An interior design object library is developed by collecting interior information attributes and designer’s sample designs together with their respective prices. It can reduce the complex calculation of cost analysis for the whole building. It can support easy to choose the interior design (floor, wall, ceiling, window, door and lighting) by the client who has no design idea. Using this system can easily analyze the design and cost of the whole interior parts of the building.
