Building Systems Design

Architects in building systems design engage in efficient and cost-effective methods to produce prefabricated building components, such as roof trusses, walls, and doors and windows, for residential and commercial projects. These manufactured components are designed as independent but interconnecting parts that can be quickly installed and provide optimal construction speeds while controlling material costs at the job site, though they require specialized manufacturing equipment or labor.

with other elements to form a
more complex item.
Examples:(structures assembled from manufactured
components, design to provide specific building configuration)

Roof and Floor trusses


Walls
Doors and windows
Pros (of a building component)

Not messy (from mechanical and


utility drops)
Quickly installed
Optimum erection speed
Better control of material cost on the
job site
Cons (of a building component)

Equipment or
Man power
