N2 - Simulations have significantly contributed to the analysis of construction, and Discrete Event Simulation has been a primary means of simulation focusing on Construction Operation. In this paper, the authors address the importance of Construction Context as another realm for understanding and managing construction through representation of overall behavior of construction associated with Construction Operation. The issues raised from representing both Construction Operation and Construction Context together in a simulation model are discussed, and a hybrid System Dynamics and Discrete Event Simulation approach is proposed as a comprehensive simulation framework for that purpose. Briefly, its application to construction is also discussed.
