Construction is the country's single largest manufacturing industry. However, it is
a sector that lacks benchmarks against which to gauge performance. This modern thinking
intends to provide insight to construction productivity improvement. Taking cues from
manufacturing sectors such as computer, automobile and chemical companies, this book
will apply the lessons learned to building construction. Supported with a range of
pedagogical devices, the book will be of equal value to construction managers and
civil engineers, and students with different learning methods
