A Review Paper on Identification of Crucial Site Layout Planning Factors in Construction

Supriya Vinod Shetty | Anandrao R. Deshmukh

Abstract: Site space is a limited resource where all the facilities are to be provided. Site space being limited, appropriate site layout planning of temporary facilities is crucial for enhancing the productivity and safety of construction site. Site layout planning, however is a complex problem and researchers have attempted to solve it using variety of optimisation-based techniques. Various techniques like Genetic algorithm, simulation technique and ant colony optimisation techniques are used for site layout planning. This paper attempts to identify crucial factors in construction affecting site layout planning. It includes identifying facilities that are temporarily needed to support construction operations on a project but do not form a part of the finished structure.
