  • Abstract:
    Resources for construction activities are limited in the real construction world. To avoid the waste and shortage of resources on a construction jobsite, scheduling must include resource allocation. A multicriteria computational optimal scheduling model, which integrates the time/cost trade-off model, resource-limited model, and resource leveling model, is proposed. A searching technique using genetic algorithms (GAs) is adopted in the model. Furthermore, the nondominated solutions are found by the multiple attribute decision-making method, technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution. The model can effectively provide the optimal combination of construction durations, resource amounts, minimum direct project costs, and minimum project duration under the constraint of limited resources.
