REMOLINA MILLAN, Aldemar  and  POLANCO SANCHEZ, Lina Maritza. Labor productivity study about masonry and structure activities for a construction project at campus UPB. Prospect. [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.2, pp.105-112. ISSN 1692-8261.  https://doi.org/10.15665/rp.v12i2.294.

This article consolidates the background, methodological aspects and results of the investigation that enabled to develop the analysis of labor productivity for execution of some typical building activities, such as concrete structures and masonry. The analysis was performed, based on actual information generated for construction of J Building at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana Sectional Bucaramanga campus. This analysis was performed in order to find a performance standard that allows comparison of these activities for similar projects. The study made evident the typical difficulties that arise, related to available information, tools, and methodologies to collect and analyze data and results for this type of labor; accordingly, some methodological and analysis proposals were generated based on practical assumptions which can be taken as reference for future researchs. Finally, the labor productivity results that were calculated are presented as productivity indexes which will serve as comparative basis to future studies.

Keywords : Construction Labor Productivity; Masonry Productivity; Structure Productivity; Equivalent Crew.
