Development of a Construction Process Model for Structural and MEP Works in Condominium Projects Using the COSMOS System

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of a construction process model for structural and MEP works in condominium buildings using the COSMOS Simulator Program for simulation. The model is based on real data from a condominium construction project. Since construction management does not follow a fixed pattern, processes vary even within the same organization. As a result, some projects fail to meet planned deadlines. This research presents a systematic approach to improving construction processes. The objective is to develop a model that identifies the shortest construction time to reduce duration and improve resource efficiency. The study found that the developed model can be applied effectively. It was also found that dividing the work area and allowing certain tasks to overlap significantly reduces construction time. Additionally, reducing labor in certain activities does not affect the overall duration and effectively lowers costs.
