The Measured Mile
This chapter addresses the use of the measured mile as a quantitative tool to determine losses of efficiency on a construction project. In order to construct a measured mile with a true productivity rate, construction professionals must maintain records that allow for productivity to be determined. A similar project would be one that is the same type of construction such as paving a roadway. The comparison to a similar project is the next‐best method to measure inefficiency if a measured mile cannot be performed. The chapter describes the approach to the measured mile, with several case studies. It describes the case study of transportation project, the pharmaceutical facility, the psychiatric hospital, pile driving, Department of Transportation project, welding work, and the painter. While the project participants can testify in court or arbitration about what occurred and where, and man‐hour records can be produced, hard documentation that is specific is far more persuasive.
