“…Of course, agent modelling is not the only way to introduce productivity into the decision-making process, as there are a whole series of methodologies that serve the same purpose, moreover they have already tried and tested in the manufacturing sector and considered for the construction sector such as Discrete Event Simulation -DES and System Dynamics -SD (Lyneis & Ford, 2007). DES and SD follow a top-down approach, in which a system is built at the macro level at the beginning, then hypotheses are proposed, and its validity is measured, which is deeply based on empirical analysis, thus being affected by the implicit knowledge of the technician setting Francesco Livio Rossini and Gabriele Novembri the model parameters (Fortino et al, 2005). Agent modelling follows the bottom-up approach, where the basis is the agents and the choices made to achieve their objectives in a heterogeneous or homogeneous/consequential manner, as is the case when pursuing swarm behavior (Zhang et al, 2019).…”

The construction industry is characterised by the constant production of unique products in dynamic contexts where, moreover, the workplace coincides with the product itself. This limits the adoption of standardization and process automation methodologies. Furthermore, the average size of professional firms and companies often does not allow for investments in process innovation or skills development. Then, we need to consider that construction is a highly risky activity, also to the lack of standardization as aforementioned.The paper aims to present the framework of a methodology based on linking the information managed by a BIM model with Agent-based simulation techniques -ABS. The scope is to simulate the duration of the work under efficient conditions, understood as the best occupation of the available areas by a suitable number of workers. The result is the Construction Productivity Graph -CPG, a graph that indicates the optimization level of the construction process.
