Synopsis
Allocation of construction labourers significantly influences construction productivity. Small and medium building companies usually face problems caused by unbalanced allocation of construction labour. Most of them are not permanently employed and may become jobless when a project is completed. Meanwhile, some small and medium building companies may face shortages of labourers. Hence, this project aims to optimise the allocation of construction labourers in the Australian building industry. A database and optimisation model will be developed based on the information gathered from the fieldwork study.
