MANAGING THE BUILDING CONSTRAINTS IN INDIA COMPARING WITH DEVELOPED COUNTRIES USING ANT COLONY METHOD OF OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

The Indian construction industry is an integral part of country’s economy and its growth and a
conduit for a substantial part of India’s development investment. The industry plays a pivotal role in
developing the country’s infrastructure, a pre-requisite for high levels of economic growth. In the
construction project, time and cost are the most important factors to be considered in the planning of every
project. There is a constant rise in the use of innovative contract methods which provide incentives for
maximizing quality. There is an increasing pressure to improve the project performance due to the
innovative contracting methods which necessitate developing models incorporating quality along with time
and cost. The aim of project is the comparison of building constraints in India with the developed countries
using Ant colony optimization.
This paper proposed an Ant colony method of optimization it is a metaheuristic optimization technique
inspired from biological behavior of ant, approaching shortest path for food finding, using chemical
substance-pheromone laid by ant on her path. A. Optimization is a systematic effort made to improve profit
margins and obtain the best results under given circumstances. Building energy, Material cost, Labour cost
and plant cost of project delivery are among the crucial aspects of each project.. In this paper, new
metaheuristic ant algorithm is used to compare the parameters with developed countries and to optimize the
cost, building energy of a buildings in India.
