3 Hours (3 LUs)
Course Description
Good project management in construction must vigorously pursue the efficient utilization of labor, material and equipment. Improvement of labor productivity should be a major and continual concern of those who are responsible for cost control of constructed facilities.

The use of new equipment and innovative methods has made possible wholesale changes in construction technologies in recent decades.
Learning Objectives
• Review labor productivity and factors affecting job-site productivity.
• Understand labor relations in construction and costs associated with constructed facilities
