ABSTRACT
Inner-city building construction site space is inadequate: needs wisely planned and used professionally to optimize productivity and safety. Thus, mathematical optimization methods have been applied in construction site layout planning (CSLP) to create safe and short moves among the temporary facilities (TFs) in site. This paper is aimed to develop a framework to integrate the space requirements and achieve the optimization goals by reviewing optimization methods and processes of CSLP. The literature on CSLP indicates the consistent and increasing interest in using mathematical optimization methods having a multi-objective function with frequent goals: crew productivity and safety. Existing methods optimize CSLP by minimizing the travel distance among TFs ignoring the working area to TFs distance and the project data was used in fragmented ways. Therefore, this paper has presented a framework for an integrated CSLP process with lean construction workflow principles using Dynamo-based building information modeling to optimize productivity and safety.
