Time-cost-quality trade-off analysis for construction projects by ElBassuony, Mahmoud

“…For the aforementioned purpose, three various Microsoft Excel based TCQT models have been developed as follows: • First, a simplified model is developed with the objective of optimizing the total duration, cost, and quality of simple construction projects utilizing the GA-based Excel add in Evolver. • Second, a stochastic model is developed with the objective of optimizing the total duration, cost, and quality of construction projects applying the PERT approach in order to consider uncertainty associated with the performance of execution options and the whole project. • Third, an advanced multi objective optimization model is developed utilizing a self-developed optimization tool having the following capabilities: 1. …”
