The Construction Industry is Less Productive
We track several metrics that indicate the general health of the our industry, its workforce and its practices. Our on-going tracking of productivity has indicated a stagnant state for some time.
Our consulting firm reviews the constant dollar value of construction put in place and divides it by the number of people who work in the industry.
What we have found is unsettling. The overall trend is flat. That is with all the computer technology, efforts made to improve the industry practices and other directions, we still have not improved the productive rate of work installed each year as an industry.
for the complete article (limit 1 article per month), email us at clientservices@stevensci.com and write "productity trend" or go to stevensci.com and click on forms page.
This and other management information are part of our 400+ page book - to be published September 27, 2006 by McGraw-Hill Inc. "Managing a Construction Firm on Just 24 Hours a Day”. It includes 170 best Practices Used in Construction Contracting with over 100 illustrations and examples. We include a Free CD of 60 Excel Templates when you buy the book from our website. We also include our library of forms.
