Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering and Technology

 

LORC researchers Dr Danny Murguia, Asitha Rathnayake, Tercia Jansen van Vuuren and Professor Campbell Middleton, have published a novel framework for measuring productivity in the construction sector.

The framework was developed using data from UK construction projects and refined through several cycles of development and industry engagement. The framework is useful in providing new insights into project performance, helping understand process variability, setting benchmarks and conducting data analytics for improved decision-making. The method is being rolled out on several demonstrator projects with leading clients, contractors, and subcontractors.
