| Abstract | Construction projects demand several temporary facilities from start until the finish stage. Previously, these temporary facilities were arranged on free areas, within construction site boundaries. Basically, most urban construction projects have limitation of space, and it must be judiciously to avoid accessibility, safety problems. Thus, comprehensive site layout planning can make good flow for materials, labors, and equipment. Construction Site Layout Planning (CSLP) aims to optimize the best location for allocating TFs according to each activity and to optimum usage of available space, lower project costs, less relocation, better accessibility, and safety of the work environment. Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides new opportunities for site layout planning and for presentations because BIM-based site layout planning is visually illustrative. The object of this study is 1. To study CSLP. 2. To study important criteria for temporary facilities. 3. To develop BIM model for CSLP. In this study aims to focus on 8 Temporary facilities, which are Tower crane, Warehouse, Site office, Passenger hoist, Road, Toilet, Site security, and garbage. To achieve these goals, the construction schedule from MS project and building Revit model were integrated into synchro software. Synchro was a good choice as it enables participants to visualize models for more realistic. The unique findings are 1. This study tries to study CSLP in 4D format 2. This study tries to study CSLP while implementing scoring mechanism 3. This study tries to create a model by using the Autodesk Revit. |
