Abstract

The 'Method of Construction' has frequently been identified as one of the major factors in the successful execution of an optimum programme of construction. Unfortunately little work has been carried out in order to aid construction planners with the task of evaluating the suitability of the many different, yet possible, Methods of Construction for any one project.

A research project is presented which is directly aimed at aiding construction planners with the evaluation of potentially suitable methods of construction and the eventual selection of the optimum Method for the current project. This research project is aimed at producing a computerized package using a knowledge base and a knowledge manipulation algorithm in order to select, quantify and evaluate the suitability of alternative Methods of Construction. The basic concepts behind the various knowledge based algorithms is here presented and an emphasis is given to the fact that no standard software package has been used for this development.
