BRIEF TECHNOLOGY

Productivity Nominal Analytics (PNA™) computes and visualizes construction productivity data and nominal values derived from past projects.

PROBLEM STATEMENT & CURRENT ISSUES

Time & Cost Overruns - Too often, construction projects go over budget and over time, which makes it hard to make money. Analytics provide crucial indicators to construction company which may have a major impact on profit and client satisfaction.
Poor Short-Term Planning - More than 80% of performance variances in construction projects are attributable to changes in work plan, inadequate communication of resource availability (work sites, materials, & personnel) and underestimating task effort (which needs knowledge of productivity rates (nominal) from the site)

USEFULNESS & APPLICATION

PNA equips construction practitioners and SMEs with actionable insights through analytics:
Worksite assessment
Tendering and contract evaluation
Cost risk assessment and schedule assessment reviews
Planning package reviews
Construction performance monitoring and control during project execution

IMPACT OF THE PRODUCT

Establish consistent and accurate plan to achieve project OTOBOS.
Productivity nominal for efficient project management (improving efficiency, mitigating risks, and optimizing resources)
Provide baseline for construction productivity estimation and monitoring
Enhance productivity reporting and forecast
