Construction Success Story — Contractor uses JPM to pinpoint job productivity

Description

Abstract: This issue’s “Construction Success Story” looks at the case of a contractor whose company was constantly scrambling to meet construction deadlines and racking up more labor hours than were budgeted. His advisor explained that the accounting measures that the contractor used to track his productivity didn’t allow him to make timely adjustments to his projects to fix productivity problems. He suggested instead that the contractor try using ASTM International’s new Job Productivity Measurement (JPM) standard — the first standardized metric for tracking construction productivity.
