Abstract

Based on labor productivity, construction projects in Kenyan cities and beyond will either succeed or fail. Absence or insufficiency of labor productivity management makes it difficult or impossible for clients and contractors to accurately estimate project costs, which causes costs to rise, profits to decline, project execution times to lengthen, projects to stall, and industry confidence to decline. The topic of construction labor productivity is investigated in this exploratory study among Nairobi-based practitioners and on Nairobi-based projects. It defines the word and assesses the body of literature that is currently available. Next, it assesses several facets of labor productivity in building projects and among practitioners. Lastly, it clarifies significant aspects of CLP in the sector.
