| Abstract | There are many building technologies for high-rise building construction both current and innovation technologies. Moreover, it is possible that there are many technologies which can satisfy the general constraints such as technical, legal, functional, time and cost constraints. Consequently, it is difficult to choose the technology that fits with the project. The aims of this study are to develop a systematic technology evaluation method and to determine the critical factors for choosing technologies when those technologies meet the general constraints. There are six components for technology evaluation: time, cost, quality, flexibility to make changes, constructability and risk. Each component contains several elements. The developed system which is based on the cost-effective analysis method gives the result of evaluation in terms of index. To determine the critical factors for choice of technologies can be derived from the data collected from designers and contractors. All data is analysed by simple statistical methods. The results show that aesthetics of the product has high imp01iance for technology evaluation. |
