Resource leveling is crucial for effective use of construction resources particularly to minimize the
project costs. Optimal allocation of resources can be achieved by resource levelling. Critical path method (CPM)
and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) are commonly used in scheduling of construction projects.
However it is not capable of minimizing undesirable fluctuations in resource utilization profile. This will lead to a
change in construction time which will automatically increase the cost of construction. This paper describes a
Genetic algorithm approach to resource leveling and allocation in construction industry. In this study resource
leveling problem is developed using genetic algorithm (GA) in MATLAB software.
