Productivity Benchmarking Summary Report

Construction activates occur in a constantly changing environment, therefore construction productivity is affected by a wise spectrum of factors. Figures 18 and 19 show that substantial productivity differences between different project attributes are observed, including project type, size, and nature. (BMM2011-1, p. 25)

Productivity benchmarking should be done at the appropriate level in order to be meaningful. For example, productivity for pouring concrete foundations varies considerably depending on the size of the foundation, as Figure 19 shows. (BMM2011-1, p. 24)

Engineering and construction productivity has different meanings for different organizations. The CII BM&M committee defined engineering and construction as shown in Figure 1. (BMM2011-1, p. 3)

The CII Productivity Benchmarking Program measure productivity in six engineering disciplines and eight construction disciplines. (BMM2011-1, p. 4)
