AN INTEGRATED QFD AND AXIOMATIC DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR THE SATISFACTION OF TEMPORARY HOUSING STAKEHOLDERS

Modern construction projects must meet the requirements of a diverse range of stakeholders, each of whom have their own unique needs and constraints. Ideally these needs would be identified early in the design process when the designers have the largest impact on cost and functionality of the project. Unfortunately, this stage is typically approached in an informal and non-homogenous manner. Designers often do not use formal and systematic tools until later in the design process. This study proposes a new systematic approach to the conceptual design of construction projects -specifically temporary housingby combining Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Axiomatic Design (AD). This combined methodology helps ensure that the design meets customer’s needs, as well as satisfies the design objectives in a logical sequence. More precisely, the QFD-AD method proposed innovatively combines two prevalent design methodologies in a way that allows a seamless translation of diverse customer needs into a formal and methodical design approach. The design of a refugee housing unit is presented as an illustrative case study of temporary housing.
