Current construction simulation systems need detailed architectural models and schedules in order to estimate costs and visualize the construction process. However, the process of developing a building model, formulating a schedule, and eventually synchronizing them is a time-consuming and laborious process. When changes occur, the model and schedule must be modified or rebuilt using the same time-consuming and laborious process. Therefore, systems of this kind are used only for some demonstrations. This paper describes a new way to automate construction simulations using simple architectural information and predefined "construction method templates." A number of construction method templates are computer readable and are stored as a knowledge base. The writer proves the concept by implementing a computer system to process building models and construction methods. The concept allows designers and construction engineers to build a model and simulate construction processes in a short period of time in the early stage of construction projects.
