Superior Productivity is the hallmark of successful construction contractors. Labor cost is the consistent variable in all projects. It is the culprit in 90%+ of unprofitable jobs. Improving labor’s performance both in the field and the office is a critical success factor. If all projects are profitable then the construction company is also.
On average, 32% of every labor hour is spent on non-productive tasks. While a portion of this wasted time is outside of the contractor’s control, a significant amount is directly related to the quality and consistency of planning, communication and other various management activities. Stevens Construction Institute’s Productivity Improvement Process focuses on identifying the controllable productivity-drivers and best practice approaches that impact project performance within your firm. Once identified, we will facilitate the development of proactive tools, processes, and measurement/feedback systems to address these productivity-drivers and best practices.
For some clients, we write and publish a Business Process Manual to clearly document these processes and tools for use today and years ahead. This manual can be used to train and maintain standards for all company personnel for years to come. We give it to you in both paper and electronic format so you may update it as you want.
