This book was released on 2009-12-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction productivity-how well, how quickly, and at what cost buildings and infrastructure can be constructed-directly affects prices for homes and consumer goods and the robustness of the national economy. Industry analysts differ on whether construction industry productivity is improving or declining. Still, advances in available and emerging technologies offer significant opportunities to improve construction efficiency substantially in the 21st century and to help meet other national challenges, such as environmental sustainability. Advancing the Competitiveness and Efficiency of the U.S. Construction Industry identifies five interrelated activities that could significantly improve the quality, timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of construction projects. These activities include widespread deployment and use of interoperable technology applications; improved job-site efficiency through more effective interfacing of people, processes, materials, equipment, and information; greater use of prefabrication, preassembly, modularization, and off-site fabrication techniques and processes; innovative, widespread use of demonstration installations; and effective performance measurement to drive efficiency and support innovation. The book recommends that the National Institute of Standards and Technology work with industry leaders to develop a collaborative strategy to fully implement and deploy the five activities

Download or read book Analysis of Building Sector Construction Productivity Trends in North America Between1995 and 2009 written by Hani Ahmed and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 2001 study, Paul M. Goodrum examined the impact of equipment technology on productivity in the U.S construction industry between 1976 and 1998. This research and its results have been included in a larger discussion about productivity trends in the U.S, since then. The objective of this research is to extend the Goodrum study to the period between 1995 and 2009, so that further insight into long term trends and effects can be obtained. The study begins with a brief review of the research that has been completed in the last ten years with respect to the analysis of construction productivity trends in the U.S., Canada, and other developed countries. Then the study examines the characteristics common to all construction projects and factors affecting construction productivity, because an accurate understanding of the correlation between these factors will lead to improved productivity. A statistical significance test (t-test) is used as a method of measuring the validity of the observed changes in productivity between 1995 and 2009. The main finding of this research is that there is a slight improvement in partial factor productivity in the United States between 1995 and 2009 as measured using the Means estimating manuals while the labor productivity remains almost the same between 1995 and 2009. Through statistical significant test (t-test), it is found that the construction partial factor productivity have changed significantly between 1995 and 2009. Finally, samples of construction typical projects were taking as an example to show how the mentioned productivity improvements will affect the construction industry in the United States. The result of this study can be used as a guideline for planners, decision makers, owners, engineers, and contractors to develop insight with respect to the challenge of improving productivity in the North American construction industry. The implementation of the findings of this study will also be helpful for any specific project, because the duration of the project can be decreased and the productivity of the construction increased. The research provides some recommendations which may assist others who are interested in working in this area.

Book excerpt: Despite the size, complexity and importance of the construction industry, there has been little study to date which focuses on the challenge of drawing reliable conclusions from the available data. The accuracy of industry reports has an impact on government policy, the direction and outcomes of research and the practices of construction firms, so confusion in this area can have far reaching consequences. In response to this, Measuring Construction looks at fundamental economic theories and concepts with respect to the construction industry, and explains their merits and shortcomings, sometimes by looking at real life examples. Drawing on current research the contributors tackle: industry performance productivity measurement construction in national accounts comparing international construction costs and prices comparing international productivity The scope of the book is international, using data and publications from four continents, and tackling head on the difficulties arising from measuring construction. By addressing problems that arise everywhere from individual project documentation, right up to national industrial accounts, this much-needed book can have an impact at every level of the industry. It is essential reading for postgraduate construction students and researchers, students of industrial economics, construction economists and policy-makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Warren has given us a c:onstruction management book with a mission: to ensure that the "People Quotient" is hlctored into all bc:ets of project management and job-site performanc:e. Warren demonstrates the importanc:e of respect for every naftsman's individual worth and of empathy for the c:onclitions surrounding c:onstruction employment. He outlines the motivational forces that achieve highest pro ductivity and, at the same time, displays on every page a broad generosity of spirit along with keen analytical powers. Clearly, the book is the fi-uit of the author's own years of ex perienc:e in the field. I am proud to say that 13 of those years were spent with Fluor Daniel, so that I c:an vouc:h personally for his ac:umen and leadership in project management. I c:ommend this hook most heartily to my colleagues, dients, and c:ompetitors throughout the construction industry. It should be on the shelf of every c:aring manager who wants, not only to get the best out of his workforc:e, but also to acc:omplish the best for the members of that work forc:e as individual human beings.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to evaluate contextual factors affecting labour productivity on construction projects, and whether these factors differ based on construction projects, company or location. According to a report by McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) (2017), globally, the construction industry accounts for 13% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs 7% of the world's working population, making the construction industry one of the leading contributors to GDP (PWC, 2016; Barbosa et al., 2017; StatsSA, 2017). Barbosa et al. (2017) said that in the past 20 years the construction industry has had a 1% annual productivity growth globally. Durdyev and Mbachu (2011) argue that productivity outside of the contextual definition and clarity of the construction project's objectives is a complicated concept to understand. Construction and labour productivity are described as output obtained divided by input expended by Tran and Tookey (2011) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development ([OECD] 2011) respectively. While the Building and Construction Sector Productivity Taskforce (BCSPT) expand on this noting that productivity is the construction industry's ability to convert inputs into outputs (BCSPT, 2009). Whiteside (2006) proposes that labour productivity is the output average of direct labour hours to install a unit of material. However, Allmon et al. (2000) argue that labour productivity can only be defined when an organisation or the project has identified the base or norm of what constitutes labour productivity. This study agrees with the proposition raised by Allmon et al. (2000) because logically a base or norm will be required to know whether labour is productive or not. It follows that if a construction project commences without clarity on the expectation level of productivity or a standard for efficient labour productivity, there will be no knowledge of how the project has performed. Throughout literature, different scholars view
