dc.description.abstractConstruction companies have yet to establish universal benchmarks. With the advent of the World Wide Web, it has become easier to share information both internally and externally. Productivity metrics are very popular amongst many industries, especially in the construction realm. However, throughout benchmarking history, there has been a lack of consistency in regard to definitions, data collection, and data organization. Studies that utilize work sampling have been frequently employed by construction company initiatives to monitor the distribution of certain categories of productive and non- productive time of a certain construction trade. Traditionally, these studies have focused on maximizing the amount of direct work or “tool-time” in order to optimize productivity. This theory has recently been challenged, whereby the climax of productivity will occur based on a distinct ratio between direct work and supportive work. The proposed framework aims to develop a database and benchmarking system of activity analysis category ratios and associated productivity values for concrete formwork installation using Google Fusion Tables (GFT). The sixteen-week work sampling activity analysis has been executed on a large commercial construction project in western Canada.en_US
