To evaluate how the detail design of the building construction system influences the outputs of the system such as the construction steps and the construction period, it is necessary to know the order in which building members are assembled. This paper presents a method for generating and optimizing the assembly order of building members based on an information about the characteristics of the building construction system. This generation and optimization system are composed of three modules, which are an input module using CAD, knowledge-based system (KBS) module for generation of the assembly order of members and its optimization module using Genetic Algorithms (GA).
