...Hamideh Rabiei Purpose Typically, the number of workers per team is determined based on experience. This study aims to propose an integrated intelligent model aimed at reducing lost productivity and optimizing team sizes in construction projects to align with stakeholder interests and project...

... decisions have led to several workplace accidents in the construction industry. This paper aims to present an integrated building information modeling – genetic algorithm (BIM-GA) model to automate formwork design, 3D visualization and optimization. Design/methodology/approach Data are precisely...

... of storage space in crowded places prompts the need for building steel bar storage choice optimization. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the construction steel bar procurement plan by providing when and how much rebar to order and how to stack different sizes of rebar considering limited storage...

... optimization requires the determination of key elements and prioritization tools. The purpose of this paper is to show that a simple calculation using the combination of the balanced scorecard (BCS) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) will help in the prioritization of strategy development. Design...
