DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTIVITY ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY FOR CONCRETING PROCESS

In spite of the development in construction industry; the productivity in this sector still considered as critical factor for most construction firms in developing and semi developing countries. In order to develop the productivity, several measures have been taken for some construction projects. This study highlights the topics of productivity monitoring and measurement in constructing sector. Performance measurements used to monitor the construction processes and activities. Building projects are taken as case study to show how these concepts can be used to analyze and develop the productivity of some options in this sector. Concreting process is taken as case study. The results pointed to the relative importance of this activity in terms of time and cost. A comparative model has been developed to determine the best method of construction, its cost and duration. This model can also be used as a predicting tool for selecting the method during the planning phase of project
