Expert System for Construction Planning
TLDR
Among other concerns, construction planning involves the choice of construction technology, the definition of work tasks, estimation of required resources and durations, the estimation of costs, and the selection of costs.Abstract:

A Virtual Construction Environment for preconstruction planning
Ahmed F Waly,Walid Thabet +1 more
TL;DR: A framework for a new planning approach that will utilize virtual reality (VR) modeling techniques coupled with object-oriented technologies to develop an integrated virtual planning tool called the Virtual Construction Environment (VCE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated of software environment for building design and construction
TL;DR: A prototype system, the Integrated Building Design Environment, has been implemented to act as a testbed for a number of issues that arise from the need to integrate computer aids for the design and construction of buildings.

Scheduling with Computer-Interpretable Construction Method Models
Martin Fischer,Florian Aalami +1 more
TL;DR: Computer-interpretable models for the representation of construction methods support the automated generation of realistic construction schedules and assist architects, owners, and contractors in studying cost and schedule implications of design and construction alternatives.

OARPLAN: Generating project plans by reasoning about objects, actions and resources
TL;DR: The activity representation developed in OARPLAN is described and its use in producing a plan of about 50 activities for a steel-frame building is demonstrated, based on spatial and topological constraints that express structural support, weather protection and safety concerns in construction planning.

A Structure for Plans and Behavior
TL;DR: Progress to date in the ability of a computer system to understand and reason about actions is described, and the structure of a plan of actions is as important for problem solving and execution monitoring as the nature of the actions themselves.

Planning in a hierarchy of abstraction spaces
TL;DR: Examples of the ABSTRIPS system's performance are presented that demonstrate the significant increases in problem-solving power that this approach provides, and some further implications of the hierarchical planning approach are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planning with constraints
TL;DR: This paper presents an approach to hierarchical planning, termed constraint posting, that uses constraints to represent the interactions between subproblems and is illustrated with a computer program that plans gene-cloning experiments in molecular genetics.

Generating project networks
TL;DR: The planner (NONLIN) and the Task Formalism (TF) used to hierarchically specify a domain are described, which can aid in the generation of project networks.
