Sumario:Existing SCS (space-constrained scheduling) studies fall short of minimizing the effect of the stacking of trades that decline productivity due to an increase in resources within a physically limited work area. This article presents a space-constrained scheduling optimization (i.e., SSO) method for minimizing the stacking of trades. It imports schedule information from the project database, extracts IFC files of construction site area from the BIM model, defines the occupation density function of each activity to track the level of stacking of trades, and identifies the optimal solution (i.e., the optimal set of pairs of execution pattern alternatives and start times of activities) by implementing genetic algorithm (GA) optimization analysis. The study is of value to practitioners because SSO provides an easy-to-use computerized tool that reduces the lengthy computations relative to data processing and GAs. Test cases verify the validity of the computational method.
