Productivity in Building Construction

Abstract

Productivity has for many years been an issue for the construction site. This paper reviews current productivity measurement literature, particularly that pertaining on the construction site, and offers recommendations/suggestions, for improvement of productivity at the site. It also shows that productivity can be measured by monthly planned/targeted concrete and actual consumption of concrete data. Whereas targeted concrete is the input value and actual consumption of concrete is the output of the productivity. Considering single factor type of productivity i.e. concrete we have calculated the productivity for shell and core type of contract. It also show few reasons, why productivity at construction site is reduced due to improper shuttering, reinforcement activity.
