Abstract
Many research address the modelling of the Construction
Industry, either at the data level or at the process level, and
with different objectives and different approaches. This paper
focus on the need for the modelling of the dynamic aspects of
the Construction process. It introduces some of the available
methods with their advantages and specificities and it gives
some lines of the adaptation of the Petri nets which has been
used in the Combine project. An attempt is made to compare
these methods against the modelling needs and the
determinism level of the resulting models so as to help to use
the right formalism for the specific task.
