Genetic Algorithms for Construction Site Layout in Project Planning

Abstract: Construction site layout is concerned with the existence, positioning, and timing of the temporary facilities that are used to carry out a construction project. Typically these problems are very complicated to formulate and difficult to solve. They are, however, very important to virtually any construction project, since the site layout can significantly affect the cost of the project. This paper describes the general site layout problem from both a theoretical and a practical point of view. It proposes geneti… Show more

“…The layout cost is based on the material handling cost (MHC), while there was no site reorganization cost (SRC) since the layout was stable along the project duration with no relocation. The material handling cost is calculated using the actual construction materials quantities, actual storage areas location on site as shown in Figure 9 and materials handling data given [20]. The layout cost for each construction phase (T) is shown in Table 6.…”

“…To maximise the efficiency of this spatial assignment, early contractor involvement is also encouraged (Harris et al 2006;Guo 2009) coupled with extensive communication among the parties (Mossey 2009), predominantly in the identification and assignment of space prior to commencing on-site (Song et al 2009). Mawdesley et al (2002) identify the reasoning behind drafting a site layout plan prior to commencing on-site. This includes the difficulty in specifying the requirements and assignment of space caused by the complexity and dynamic nature of the construction process coupled with the interchanging nature of the various tasks requiring completion.…”
