Abstract

This report is an introduction to the CII Model Plant Project. The Model Plant is a typical facility physical baseline against which to measure construction productivity. A need for an industry-wide construction productivity measurement baseli

Key Findings

The Model Plant is a tool for examining numerous aspects of the construction industry. By virtue of its size alone, the Model Plant offers such data that possible applications may be limited only by the imagination of the user. Aside from using the Model Plant to compare a baseline construction labor estimate from year to year, the Model Plant can be used in studies of constructability ideas or productivity trends industry-wide or among geographic regions. (RS2-1, p. 14)

The Model Plant can be used to determine the effects of imposing certain cost and schedule controls or contract types on a constructor. Effects of regulations or even a climate of possible regulation and design changes can be explored under different contract types or in different locations. Companies can assess their performance against the competition and against a national average. (RS2-1, p. 14)
