Research for Building Construction Productivity: Report on the June 2, 1981 Conference

摘要

The conference was held to identify major research needs to improve commercial construction productivity. Productivity measures the relative values of the product of construction, the building, and the time, labor and capital used to produce, operate and maintain it. Therefore, both cost reduction and quality improvement are important in improvement of productivity. Twenty-six participants, from all sectors of the construction industry, met as a roundtable group. Five prepared papers served to stimulate wide-ranging discussion.
