| Summary: | The choice of material solutions and the appropriate technology for the execution of works have a significant impact on the success of construction projects. The earlier in the investment cycle of a project, the greater the possibility of improving the project’s success indicators. The currently used planning methods assume late integration of schedules with material and technological solutions. This limits the possibility of optimizing construction projects. The author proposed a new approach. The new method is based on the value engineering principles. The article presents a computational model supported by a case study—construction of an office building. Thanks to the use of artificial intelligence and metaheuristic algorithms, the economic results of construction projects have improved. This new method can help construction managers select materials and technologies in a way that will improve project parameters. |
