Abstract
In this paper, a framework is proposed for the investigation of base level components in the assessment of performance in construction projects. A multi-method simulation paradigm is proposed to provide a structure for bottom-up abstraction and modeling of construction projects based on micro-behaviors at the base level. The proposed framework and the model are used in a numerical example related to concrete pouring to evaluate the impacts of micro-behaviors at the base level on project performance. The findings of the case study highlight the importance of modeling the base level components and demonstrate the capability of the proposed framework in enhancing the assessment of performance in construction projects.
