This paper presents a new approach towards a holistic modelling of concurrent processes in structural engineering by using multiagent systems. Taking into account the lifecycle of a structure the characteristic engineering processes such as structural design, construction and utilization/monitoring are analyzed and categorized. Subsequently, general agent-based solution concepts are developed and, then, referred to the above categories of processes along with a detailed description of the corresponding agent-based submodels. Finally, two sample agent-based implementations as subsets of the holistic model are demonstrated. The first one deals with structural design, the second with dam monitoring.
