Increasing Productivity in Construction: Do More

Increasing productivity and reducing rework on a construction jobsite is a lot more difficult than just buying the right equipment and employing enough workers. It would be nice if all just came together every time, but in reality it rarely does. Doing MORE comes down to the way you tackle challenges when they occur and prepare for future issues.

Productivity Management

Top 10 Challenges

Every jobsite is different and comes with its own unique set of challenges to manage.

The 10 most common challenges on a construction site are:

Preparing the site’s working areas
Laying out the site for maximum efficiency
Providing an adequate level of on-site supervision
Having effective communication channels open
Keeping production levels on track
Scheduling work well ahead of time to meet deadlines
Analysing reports to predict and address issues
Managing, monitoring and maintaining equipment
Improving overall site safety to reduce accidents
Controlling the quality of the work to limit rework

The only way to overcome these challenges and DO MORE is to utilise the right solution or service.
