Abstract
In this paper the development and the outcome of the completed EPSRC funded ADS (Project Advanced Design Support for the Construction Design Process) will be presented. The focus of the project was mainly on managing design information without intruding too much on the design process. The ADS prototype can facilitate a change towards a more collaborative process in construction design by improving the effectiveness of decision-making throughout the project and to provide clients with the facility to relate design outcomes to design briefs across the whole building life cycle. Finally some of the emerging research strands generated by this piece of work will be introduced.
