Construction Industry Validation of Schedule Performance Measure

Understanding Subcontractor's Deviation, Risk, Performance

Presenting an industry-wide schedule performance measure of construction contractors applicable to any project and at any level of detail. If successful, it will enhance the transparency of project productivity and enable the identification of any under-performing activities, projects, or firms. The performance measure is comparable across all project types, complexities, and company sizes for the construction industry.

Schedule Beta

Schedule Beta (β) can be used to benchmark subcontractor performance and aid in the selection of which ones to use, given the specific project parameters, goals, and needs.

This research was sponsored in collaboration with our industry partner, the Construction Industry Institute (CII).
