Abstract

Construction project productivity can be enhanced by the implementation of good management practices. The purposes of this research are to identify construction equipment management practices that have the potential to improve productivity in multistory building projects, develop a tool for measuring such practices, and on that basis, build a logistic regression model for predicting the probability of exceeding a baseline productivity factor when the levels of implementation of equipment management practices are known. The research adopted a two-phase exploratory sequential mixed-methods design. During Phase I, in-depth interviews were conducted with 19 experts who have been involved in the ..
