This paper describes the development of a software tool for the rapid design of industrial buildings using precast elements. Production issues and limitations as well as structural aspects are considered during all phases of the design process making sure that the design is “precast- compatible”. The software operates on a knowledge base which can be adjusted to the specific wishes of a designer and/or a precast supplier.
