Construction planning is performed usually after the design has been completed. If the construction planning can be performed in the early stages of design, it will be more effective for optimization of the whole process including both design and construction. The author proposes a concept that enables simulation of multiple construction plans in the design phase. The important technology is the construction method template, which describes generic construction method knowledge. The author's system applies multiple templates to a single design in order to estimate, schedule and visualize the project. This report details description of the construction method template.
