Labor Productivity Analysis
SOCOTEC delivers in-depth labor productivity analysis to help clients understand, evaluate, and mitigate productivity loss in construction projects.
Construction projects are inherently complex, and productivity is often impacted by unforeseen challenges. Common factors that contribute to reduced productivity include:
- Change orders
- Resource shortages
- Errors or rework
- Excessive overtime
- Severe weather conditions
When these issues arise, the anticipated rate of production may not be achieved, leading to significant losses in construction, especially in the form of additional labor costs.
Our experienced experts provide strategic insight into labor efficiency issues that impact project costs, schedules, and claims. Labor overruns frequently represent the largest component of financial losses in construction. Identifying, proving, and quantifying this type of construction productivity loss is challenging, requiring a clear understanding of both technical details and contractual obligations.
