SELECTION OF CRITERIA FOR COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF HOUSE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Variety of house building technologies, involving the use of masonry materials, precast reinforced-concrete structures, formwork systems and modern construction equipment, contributed to the need to perform expert evaluation of their applicability in various construction conditions. Expert evaluation of house building technologies is based on a set of weighty criteria considering not only costs of resources but consumer appeal of apartment buildings as well. The expert evaluation method represents a tool for comparison of technologies by means of the system of incomparable criteria such as architectural expression of facades, dwelling convenience, durability, structural strength and seismic resistance of buildings, capital intensity of technologies, labor intensity and costs of construction using the considered house building technologies.
