β¦ Synopsis
The paper discusses the development of computer design and optimisation systems for existing construction systems. While the basic frame and methodology of the computer system remain unchanged, parts of it, such as the contents of data banks and static analysis modules can be replaced by modules suiting different construction systems.
The time and cost of such a small system together with work spent on replacing several modules is less than that of the development of a large, general building design system and its maintenance.
An algorithm to generate layout plans of flats and building sections composed of several fats is discussed. Two different examples qf such small systems are presented.

Cost optimisation of reinforced concrete flat slab buildings according to the British Code of Practice (BS8110) is presented. The objective function is the total cost of the building including the cost of floors, columns and foundations. The cost of each structural element covers that of material an
In this paper a class of building systems is defined, to which optimization methods based on decomposition and coordination might be applicable. Using graph theory, the properties of this class are described. These depend on the flow of effect through the subsystems and determine the structure of co
