Construction resource/method factors influencing productivity for high rise concrete construction
Research among European countries had confirmed variance in productivity rates ascribed by construction planning engineers for identical operations. Similar differences in planned construction resource/method factors also had been identified. It is hypothesized that such variance may be due to differences in contractor preference, resulting from socio-economic and corporate objective impacts. Analysis of variance and correlation tests are used to examine this hypothesis on data obtained from French, German and UK contractors. Numerous construction resource/method factors are tested for their impact on mean productivity rates for principal high rise in situ concrete construction operations. Significant productivity rate variations are identified for reinforcement fixing and formwork erection, while variance in concrete placing productivity rates are not found to be dependent upon construction resource/method factors. Contractors seeking to improve productivity might wish to consider solutions for construction resource/method decisions that have been found herein to be related to higher productivity rates and (in some cases) lower costs.
