摘要

Integrating pandemic mandates into a project schedule can result in higher construction costs and unforeseeable construction delays. This issue was evident during the COVID-19 period. In order to mitigate the above challenges, this research proposes a Building Information Modeling (BIM) framework to integrate the social distancing mandates into a construction schedule. A rule-based decision-making method was incorporated into a visual programming platform to develop the BIM tool. The proposed planning approach can be utilized to optimize the schedule of construction projects that have more than one worker group. A case study was used to apply the proposed framework and compare it with actual delays. The results showed that the proposed approach increased the planning and scheduling efficiencies while reducing the overall project delays compared to ad-hoc and manual planning. Therefore, the proposed framework and BIM tool can be used in construction projects to support project planners, schedulers, and project management teams in scheduling projects efficiently by integrating the needed rules.
