Construction process control

Students will have a holistic view of construction processes based on the systems approach, as well as the theoretical foundations necessary for this; they will have knowledge of the modeling of construction and material flow processes and the use of simulation for their efficient design.

Starting from a holistic view (systems approach), fundamentals are taught to be able to design construction production processes efficiently. After an introduction, the fundamentals of modeling technological processes are laid and deepened using examples and modeling tools.

Contents of the module:

  • Fundamentals of Production, technology and technological processes
  • Knowledge and application of process modelling,
  • Perform BIM use cases
  • Fundamentals of simulation of construction processes,
  • Application of simulation and optimization in construction operations
