  • Abstract:
  • The performance of construction projects is greatly influenced by labor productivity, which has a direct impact on time, money, and quality results. This study uses information gathered from structured questionnaires to examine the connection between labor productivity and overall project success. Lack of competent labor, inadequate site management, material delays, absenteeism, and design flaws are some of the main variables affecting productivity. Results show that low productivity frequently results in quality problems, schedule delays of one to three months, and cost overruns of five to twenty percent. Effective management techniques like planning, communication, incentives, training, and supervision are examined in the study. Sensible suggestions are made, such as performance monitoring and intelligent work procedures. According to the study's findings, labor productivity is a key factor in project success and provides experts with practical advice on how to increase execution efficiency.
