Abstract

Current construction projects often encounter problems with construction delays from schedule caused by many problems such as the ability of personnel and working environment, etc. This research aims to study labor productivity and factors affecting labor productivity of installation work, sanitation systems and firefighting systems within a high rise building construction project. The researchers have collected data from the observation and recording of motion pictures and still images in the project. The result of the data analysis shows that the groups of pipe installation workers, sanitary and fire fighting systems have the proportion of Use of useful labor is below the standard This is due to waiting for equipment, poor planning and unskilled labors etc.
