“…In the same way, other authors [27] suggest that customers are involved in their housing customisation through a support system for decision-making according to their preferences using a hybrid approach, that combines case-based reasoning (CBR) and genetic algorithm (GA). Through this system the possibility of customer dissatisfaction with the final product is reduced, solving the problems caused by inexperience for decision making cost-quality of the chosen option, or by discrepancies between expectations and final outcome of the house.…”

A Mass Customisation model is discussed as a competitive positioning strategy in the marketplace adding value to the customer's end-use. It includes the user as part of the construction process responding to the customer's demands and wishes. To the present day, almost all proposals for Mass Customisation have been focused on the design phase and single family houses. The reality is that the processes carried out in the work execution are so inefficient that the costs of the Mass Customisation models are assumed by the customer and they do not offer solutions that support the change management. Furthermore, this inefficiency often makes Mass Customisation unfeasible in terms of deadlines and site management. Therefore, the present proposal focuses on achieving the paradigm of Mass Customisation in the traditional residential construction complementary to the existing proposals in the design phase. All this through the proposal of a framework for the integral management in the work execution, which will address change management introduced by the users offering an efficient and productive model that reduces costs in the process. This model will focus on the synergy between different strategies, techniques and technologies

“…Theoretically, this system creates the opportunity to improve HQ. Developers are able to verify future occupants during the initial stages of project development, enabling them to provide customized designs and differentiated quality items in order to meet the actual needs of the developers and future occupants [5,6]. However, in order to maintain profitability and sales performance, the majority of contractors are unwilling to provide differentiation strategies for HQ.…”

“…According to presale concepts, developers are able to verify future occupants during the initial stages of project development, enabling them to provide customized designs and differentiated quality items in order to meet user demand and values [5]. Many developers believe that the presale system allows occupants to participate in the design process and helps developers and customers co-create value and embody experiences.…”

Housing quality (HQ) has been a long-standing concern for both developers and homebuyers. Currently, HQ depends on the expected profit and subjectivity of the developers, and homebuyers only have a passive choice of whether to accept housing with such quality. Asian housing supply markets have largely adopted the presale housing system. Under this system, developers are able to verify future occupants before commencing construction, enabling them to provide customized designs and differentiated quality items in order to meet user demands and value. Consequently, HQ can be enhanced. A cost-quality trade-off model was developed using a genetic algorithm to help decision-makers identify the optimal HQ differentiation strategy that simultaneously satisfies homebuyers' expectations of quality and developers' expectations of profits. The findings showed that the presale housing system effectively improves HQ. A 6% increase in homebuyers' budgets can achieve the optimal quality improvement effect, while an 8% or more increase in developers' construction costs in order to improve HQ can generate an additional premium for the developers.

Abstract. Case-based reasoning is a popular approach used in intelligent systems. Whenever a new case has to be dealt with, the most similar cases are retrieved from the case base and their encompassed knowledge is exploited in the current situation. Combinations of case-based reasoning with other intelligent methods have been explored deriving effective knowledge representation schemes. Although some types of combinations have been mostly explored, other types have not been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, we briefly outline popular case-based reasoning combinations. More specifically, we focus on combinations of case-based reasoning with rulebased reasoning, soft computing and ontologies. We illustrate basic types of such combinations and discuss future directions.
