To easily comprehend the contents of design by automatically preparing and displaying the layout according to constraint conditions of arranged equipments or the like when performing the layout design or the like through the three-dimensional (3D) model of a plant.
At an arrangement information corrector 7, arrangement information is automatically corrected so as to reduce the evaluated value of the arrangement information. Besides, the 3D model is prepared by using that information and the layout design is automatically performed through the 3D model of the plant. When generating the 3D model, an attribute value such as a price is simultaneously generated and estimation work is automatically performed as well. When the ground of construction is to be determined before or after the determination of arrangement of respective functions by using the arrangement information corrected by the arrangement information corrector 7 or group classification information, that determination can be made correspondent to timing of before or after the arrangement determination. Further, the layout design result is displayed out through various methods so that everyone can easily comprehend the design contents.
