Abstract
Resources are the most important part of any construction project. Total cost of project is based on resources. ForIndia the construction industry has contributed an estimated ₹ 6708 billion to the national GDP in 2011-12 which is ashare of around 8%. This sector is both labour and machine intensive and provides employment to more than 35million people, which is around 27% population of India. So, optimization of resources plays a vital role in saving ofvaluable natural resources and cost which is required to generate them. So, in this paper concept of optimization isunderstood clearly and try to implement it on bridge construction site. The case study is selected as Hyderabad metroproject. In this project concreting of precast segment of bridge is considered. The main objective of study is to optimizethe resource utilization on concreting activity by applying some operational research techniques such as transportationmodel, assignment model, EOQ etc. The paper also discussed the concept of multi agent negotiation used on site.Construction projects are unique in nature because construction activities are varies from project to project. Thus, itis not possible to apply result of optimization from any particular case study to any other construction site but the ideaor technique regarding optimization till remains same for other sites.
