BIM-based Component-level Construction Sequence Planning for Precast Concrete Building

Precast concrete building is one type of prefabricated construction, in which some of the building components are produced in factories and transported to construction site for assembly. Because it focuses more on individual building components rather than the whole floor or construction area, traditional construction scheduling based on the floor or area level is not appropriate for precast concrete building, considering the duration, cost and resource of the project. A component-level construction scheduling is then needed. This research aims to develop a Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based component-level construction sequence planning method. The scheduling required information of building components is extracted from BIM model and being used for generating a component-level schedule network, which describes the technical precedence relationships of components. This research lays the foundation for subsequent resource-constraint project scheduling for precast concrete building and will improve the construction management level of precast concrete building.
