ABSTRACT
This paper presents a summing up of work done to develop a prototype expert system for selecting construction activities and methods in order to support the project planning at tactic level. The work developed was based in the following assumptions:
a) Tactic planning can be decomposed in a set of partial steps, for instance:
i) Recognition of simple functional components of the building. ii) Identification of activities, iii) Definition of precedence relations among the activities. iv) Selection of construction methods. etc…
b) Starting from the decomposition of the building into its component parts, following a functional and technological viewpoint, it is possible to formulate construction activities and their precedence relations in a more accurate way.
