The quality of the project plan created is essential for realizing a construction project. This is a big challenge for planners, because there are many constraints to be considered. The problem to be solved is known as the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP). This paper presents a multi-agent approach in which resources and processes are represented as collaborative agents. Autonomous process and resource agents register themselves on a central blackboard where resource allocation to activities is negotiated. As expansion to prior works, a learning agent is integrated to improve the solutions created. A discrete-event simulation implements the model and it is evaluated with standardized project plans from the field of operations research.
