This paper presents a method which optimizes the cost allocation in the design process of a metal curtain-wall unit using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method. From the literature survey, it was found that previous researches have been focused on maximizing customer-satisfaction using QFD without considering the constrained budget. This paper describes how
the limited budget condition is considered in the QFD process for a curtain wall design. A case study is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the method proposed by the authors. The method contributes to deliver the curtain-wall design in a way to satisfy the level of requirements of both the customer and the curtain-wall contractor by calculating a solution vector allocating limited budget to the Technical Attributes(TAs) of the curtain wall unit according to the
importance weight of Customer Attributes(CAs).
