A methodology for innovative developments in pre-cast concrete, which uses a combination of probabilistic analysis and case-based reasoning, is presented. The probability distributions beneficial for independent uses of construction of economically optimised superstructures as well as relationships between variables are constructed through an analysis of industrialized building methods. Emphasis is given to the planning, design, manufacturing and construction of pre-cast and prefabricated concrete structures, their cost advantage with respect to in-situ concrete, and techniques for jointing along with the integration of horizontal and vertical members. These are used to compute the joint probability distribution functions of dependent variables using a structural design technique developed by the author for a saddle roof from a pre-cast concrete construction element. Supplementary to this are alternative construction-methods and costs for a simple but variable system.
