The staff of WLC Ltd have researched construction labour productivity for the last 30 years, and have 15 years’ experience of designing and implementing productivity improvement programmes – ensuring that gains can be made through reductions in resource inputs. We have developed novel, simple approaches to measuring and improving productivity, facilitated by unique algorithms for capturing, analysing and avoiding delays, the major cause of productivity degradation. This approach has led to productivity improvements in excess of 20%. We have also developed a Productivity Benchmarking Framework allowing productivity to be compared across sites and across organisations whilst respecting commercial sensitivities.
