PRODUCTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

From planning/design to post-construction, this valuable guide provides the construction industry the key to understanding the importance of properly tracking and measuring productivity, resulting in increased efficiency and profitability for contractors, subcontractors, owners, civil and construction engineers, and attorneys.

Productivity in Construction Projects anticipates and answers the questions of owners, contractors, sub-contractors, and construction professionals to avoid cost overruns in a specific area of work, or when activities are taking more resources to perform than planned. Packed with real-world case studies, Productivity in Construction Projects' thirteen chapters move beyond the symptoms and provide a remedy.

This book provides a comprehensive look at how to:

  1. Complete more projects on time and budget, and earn greater profits and future business.
  2. Track and analyze productivity on construction projects, and quantify additional costs resulting from productivity losses.
  3. Select the right experts and attorneys should litigation or arbitration occur, and employ credible and reliable methods of analysis.
  4. Solve problems on the project instead of incurring lengthy and costly litigation or arbitration.
