INTRODUCTION: Production Rate

Productivity in Construction
There are various terms used to describe productivity in construction. It could be
performance factor, production rate, unit person-hour (p-h) rate, and others. It is
traditionally defined as the ratio of input/output (ratio of the input of an associated
resources to real output). In construction, labor productivity is the physical progress
achieved per p-h.

Production Rate
According to Planning Engineer Est., Productivity rates are very important to
both Site Engineers, and Planning Engineers. It could be used to monitor the labor
performance, or to estimate the manpower required for a project for planning and
monitoring purposes or for cost estimations.
Production rate is the rate at which workers are expected to accomplish a certain
work scope, like in roads or buildings. It usually depends on the speed of the workers,
generally categorized as slow, average and fast.

Factors that Affect Productivity

Some construction work task are labor intensive and equipment intensive. The
productivity of labor intensive roles are determined by some factors like:

Motivation
Skill
Training of the workforce
Working Condition

For the productivity of equipment, the power and capability of the equipment are
the basis.
Labor intensive activities are those works that require manual or on-hands labor
like the piping and drywall installation. Equipment intensive activities usually include
earth-moving tasks which relies on the speed and size of the equipment.
There are several factors that affect the labor productivity. This was presented
through Figure 1 shown on the next page.

Figure 1: Factor affecting labor output

Important characteristics that affect the labor productivity focus on both on what
the construction site conditions are and the type of construction being performed
(Thomas and Sakaran, 1994). The factors include:

Work Space and Work Flow

Congestion on the construction site and improper sequencing of work tasks
would negatively impact the productivity

Weather
Poor and harsh weather halts most of the construction works especially those
done in the exterior, therefore affecting the productivity for elongating days of
work.

Project Management
Quality of project management could increase or decrease the productivity.

Tooling and Equipment

Use of equipment that embodies the latest technological innovation tends to

increase productivity.

Availability of Raw Materials

It is an important factor for construction crews should be provided with steady
stream of materials to ensure high productivity.

Clear Understanding of Specifications

Good understanding in the site will increase productivity. Workers must have a
clear understanding or what to be done and should be trained to achieve high
productivity.

In relation with the nature of work to be done, the following are considered as its
factor to productivity:

Uniqueness of the Project

An unusual building with many unusually shaped elements will naturally have
lower productivity than those with regular like rectangular shapes.

Variation in Scope
A megaproject has a more complex scope compared to the small ones.
Therefore, the productivity level will be also different.

Magnitude of the Project

For example, large structural elements may be more difficult to install compared
to the smaller ones, therefore lowering the productivity.

Quality
Specification dictate quality requirements. Projects that require high quality
specifications tends to be less productive than those projects with less stringent
quality requirements. High quality specifications requires the construction crews
to be more exact and detailed during installation process, and this will take more
time.
