Determining construction method patterns to automate and optimise scheduling – a graph-based approach

Creating quality construction schedules to mitigate delays often relies on experience. The lack of dissemination historic decision reasoning makes it harder. This study proposes a graph-based method find the time- and risk-efficient patterns from projects help schedulers improve productivity accuracy. leverages schedule data obtained Tier-1 contractor validates for excavation activities. results indicate that most time-efficient activities can be done in 0.6% total project time. proposed industry professionals standardise scheduling guidelines automate generation critical subtasks.
