Formation of flow methods for organizing work in the construction of low-rise residential construction

Abstract

The article examines theoretical and practical aspects of the formation of flow-based methods for organizing construction processes in the development of low-rise residential buildings. The relevance of the research is determined by the increasing demand for residential infrastructure, particularly in the context of Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction, as well as the need to improve the efficiency of resource utilization in the construction industry. Traditional approaches to construction organization often fail to ensure the necessary rhythm and continuity of technological operations, which leads to uneven use of labor resources, increased project duration, and higher construction costs. In this context, the implementation of flow-based organizational methods becomes an effective tool for improving the productivity and efficiency of construction processes.

The aim of the study is to develop and scientifically substantiate an integrated approach to the formation of flow methods for organizing construction work during the development of low-rise residential buildings while ensuring compliance with modern energy efficiency standards and rational use of resources. The research methodology includes system analysis, comparative analysis of construction organization models, mathematical modeling of construction flows, and the application of modern management methodologies used in construction production.

The study analyzes the main models of construction organization, including linear, flow-based, cyclical, and modular approaches, and evaluates their advantages and limitations in the context of low-rise residential development. Particular attention is paid to the mathematical modeling of construction flow parameters, including the determination of deployment and folding periods of flows, which makes it possible to optimize construction schedules and improve the utilization of labor resources without increasing workforce involvement.

An organizational and technological model for the linear-flow construction of low-rise residential buildings is proposed. The model is based on the principles of serial construction, takt planning, and the division of the work front into construction zones, enabling better coordination of construction teams and reducing idle time between operations. The study also considers the application of innovative construction materials and technologies that facilitate faster installation processes and improve construction efficiency.
