Abstract: As the construction industry undertakes complex and innovative projects, improving the labour productivity that helps accomplish the triple bottom line dimensions (time, schedule and performance) assumes greater importance. It is of even greater importance in developing countries like India where most of building construction takes place on a manual basis. In response, the purpose of this paper is to develop an evaluation framework for assessing the labour productivity in the construction industry.
Poor productivity of construction workers is one of the causes of cost and time overruns in construction projects. As construction is a labour-intensive industry, this paper focuses on labour productivity in the construction industry. It covers the construction labour productivity definitions, aspects, factors affecting it. The main outcome from the literature is that there is no standard definition of productivity. This study provides a guidelines for necessary steps required to improve construction labour productivity. The productivity of labour is particularly important especially in developing countries, where most of the building construction work is still on manual basis
