| Abstract | A developing economy like India must focus upon productivity of construction as most of the country’s GDP is from agriculture and Construction industries. Construction Productivity in India is low as many people are unaware about the concept of productivity. Every contractor’s first priority is to finish the project successfully within the given time, money and desirable quality, if we can achieve the estimated productivity then project will have high chances to be successful in terms of time, cost and quality. If the contractor is competent in estimating, measuring and achieving the productivity then he will be benefited with the high profit margins. The main aspect of this study is to find onsite factors affe cting construction productivity. Initially attributes were listed from literature review, they were finalized after expert validation, and experts are the people with minimum construction experience at least 15 years. A sample of 158 were collected from residential and commercial building projects from small, medium and large comp anies. Data sampled was analyzed in SPSS for obtaining descriptive statists and constructs . Inadequate workforce management, inadequate management and control, inadequate material and equipment management, poor project scope and planning, poor site management, external factors and poor financial management were the eight constructs extracted from EFA . Top factors affecting construction productivity were ranked based upon the mean value and were briefly explained |
