Ten ways to improve productivity in construction

Identifying Goals and Giving Due Recognition

To encourage crew members and site managers to meet and exceed expectations, project managers can set up an incentive system based on performance. Additionally, acknowledging their work and presenting it as an example for the others will motivate the workforce and boost morale. However, it is important to note that realistic goals must be set, even for fast track projects. The way to do is to leverage the data collected from previous jobs and accurately set baselines; this will ensure that crew members can finish the project at a set deadline. They will not be able to meet deadlines when unrealistic goals are set, resulting in more stress and consequently, mistakes which will decrease productivity.
