A Study of Static Site Layout Using QAP and Its Visualization through BIM

Efficient layout planning and implementation of a construction site are essential for the successful completion of the project, as it improves productivity and safety on construction site. This task consists in identifying the temporary structures necessary to support the construction operations, determining their shape and size and then positioning them optimally in unoccupied areas or occupied areas within the boundaries of the site. The problem of site layout design is a complex problem of combinatorial optimization that involves various goals and develops fundamentally in measure as it builds the quantity of offices and limitations. The objective of this investigation comprises in the advancement of doable and effective site plan arrangements a realistic representation scheme that considers the total distance traveled and the frequency of travelling between them. An optimization model is developed with the aim of minimizing the travel distance the facilities of an actual commercial project. The reduced travel distance is achieved by optimizing the travel distances between the various temporary facilities. The factors taken into consideration are the travel distance between the facilities and the frequency of travel between them. An optimized model is suggested with the aim of reducing the total cost and energy of travelling to a minimum. Also, a BIM model is developed for better visualization of the improved site layout.
