Abstract :
Summary form only given. Simulation becomes essential in the modern world, especially for construction industry. Simulation principles are used to provide efficient solutions for different construction operations. The use of simulation packages becomes popular in modern construction technologies. Using existing packages involves training on specific applications. In addition, space constraints for different processes are not entirely presented, and when presented, the required computing resources are intense, especially for 3D simulation applications. Therefore, adding space constraints to simulation packages becomes crucial in order to accommodate the dimensions required by various resources as well as the available space in the construction operation. Consequently, construction space simulation application (CSSA) is designed to provide a solution for this space problem. The CSSA is coded using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and Access. It is validated, which shows robust results
