  This paper presents a simulation model based on the general framework of
Multi-Agent System (MAS) that can be used to investigate construction project
bidding process. Specifically, it can be used to investigate different
strategies in project bidding management from the general contractors'
perspective. The effectiveness of the studied management strategies is
evaluated by the quality, time and cost of bidding activities. As an
implementation of MAS theory, this work is expected to test the suitability of
MAS in studying construction management related problems.
