Abstract

New management thinking like that of lean construction has
suggested principles and techniques that can result in better
project performance. This paper aims to demonstrate the conceptual
benchmarking principles for construction labour productivity and
implement these in some projects in Greece, by the use of indices
and measures of benchmarking in labour productivity. Indices such as
the disruption index (DI), performance ratio (PR), project management
index (PMI), and project waste index (PWI) are calculated. From the
application of the above indices it was concluded that the benchmarks
of labour productivity was found to be an important delineator
between good and poorly performing projects.
