Abstract
Nowadays, the problem of scheduling and executing projects with the least cost and time has become one of the main concerns of project
managers. In this regard, researchers have used different methods and patterns. One of these methods is to use concurrent engineering in
projects. Simultaneous engineering means the creation of a project schedule for projects based on existing units and human resources so that a
synchronous rule can be applied to the project so that the project can be completed in less time. Modeling time and cost in large-scale construction
projects is actually complicated and complicated. These complexities actually increase the risk of time and cost in the project. In this research, a
new method called Chouquet integral algorithm is used to analyze time and cost equations. The chouquet integral is a method used to analyze
and linearize complex equations. The proposed method is implemented on an executable model in 2017 and analyzed and analyzed in MATLAB
software. The results show that the error rate of time and cost in the construction model resulted in a reduction of 27% and 14%, respectively.
