Data and Pilot Project

Background information

Previously the Taskforce set-up two separate workstreams focussing on productivity data collection (including establishing the Data Trust) and the other focussing on using Pilot Sites to trial productivity measurement and gather evidence on productivity disrupters and enablers (including the publication of a productivity measurement guide).

Going forward, these two workstreams will be consolidated into a single workstream, named the Data & Pilot Sites Workstream, to combine the work, ensure effective data collection, analysis, and practical application, and thereby reducing redundancy and increasing impact.

Objectives and purpose

Objective: to support the overarching objective of the Taskforce to produce measurable evidence-based productivity improvement data and insights from live and completed Pilot Sites, to support the Taskforce key purpose to be a Thought Leader and Catalyst of Change across the construction industry. Thus, enabling wider outreach of the Taskforce to the industry by answering the question “so what?”.

Purpose: to provide a single productivity data repository for the Taskforce, enabling consolidation of Pilot Sites findings and outputs (relating to both the use of the Playbook and the Measurement Guide) within a single data collection framework. Thus, providing integrated evidence-based data to support Taskforce Thought Leadership communications and related activities.

Scope of work:

Proposed tasks and deliverables:

  • Codification of the Playbook and Measurement Guide into a set of key indicators and metrics that can be monitored on all Pilot Sites.

  • Agreed set of metrics to be simple to collect and readily available from a typical construction project, such as GVA, waste, production outputs, labour levels and key project meta data.

  • Develop a standardised productivity measurement template – linked to the key Playbook and Measurement Guide indicators and metrics – to be used across all Pilot Sites.

  • Define a Pilot Sites as a project that is committed to using the Playbook and the Measurement Guide in its delivery, and reporting against the productivity measurement template

  • Collect Pilot Sites data consistently to be fed into a centralised data hub, such as the Data Trust.

  • Establish a process for regularly reviewing and adjusting the data collection based on findings from the Pilot Sites. Including feedback on tools and technology used and evidence of productivity improvements, disrupters and enablers.

  • Create a bi-monthly reporting structure where Pilot Sites leads submit their findings on data collection effectiveness and the impact on productivity.

  • Use the data and findings from the Pilot Sites to publish Thought Leadership articles for communication to the wider industry through industry publications, trade and professional bodies, conferences, social media and member websites.

  • Through these activities support the Taskforce as a Catalyst of Change and to attract wider membership and industry outreach.
