This study highlights the topics of productivity monitoring
and measurement in constructing sector. To develop the productivity, several
measures have been done in some area of construction projects. Concreting
process is taken as case study. The finding pointed the relative importance
of this activity in terms of time and cost. Three methods of concreting
process were examined; manual method, semi-mechanized method and full-mechanized
method. For small size works, the manual method was the best for concreting
work less than 50 m3 for work more than 50 m3 and
less than 260 m3, the Semi Mechanized Method was the best and
finally for work size more than 260 m3, the full mechanized
method was the most suitable. A comparative model has been developed to
determine the best method of construction, its cost and duration. This
model can also be used as a predicting tool for selecting the method during
the planning phase of project.
