This study is intended to investigate the problem of scheduling engineering projects utilizing the production rates by the simulation. The main goal of this study is to improve the scheduling of projects and productivity estimation in the construction industry in Gaza Strip. The present investigation consists of two main parts. The first part is a field survey “questionnaires” accompanied by personal interviews. The Field survey is included to highlight the local factors affecting productivity and the methods used for estimating productivity in Gaza Strip. Forty-five questionnaires were distributed to contractors from which forty questionnaires were received and analyzed. The collected data reflected different size, types, and characteristics of the sample population. The second part is a case study based on an ongoing project in Gaza Strip. The study is intended to demonstrate the use of simulation in estimating productivity based on the actual measurement of the durations of the activities of the project. The observation data were analyzed and fitted to Beta distribution functions. This study focuses on the application of simulation technique for modeling and simulation an ongoing project in Gaza Strip with the intention to conclude the appropriate project construction production rates and time probabilistic during the planning and implementation the projects. Also, the present investigation shows that there is a need to train the contractors and improve their abilities to use the productivity measurement methods for time scheduling.
