Work time modelling in construction processes

Abstract

© 1991 Artur Bezelga and Peter Brandon. This paper gives a short review of the methods of recording work and time standards in construction, as seen in international practice (especially in Eastern and Western Europe as well as Yugoslavia). Special emphasis is placed on the methods which the author used in her own research and measurements of work. The paper outlines the characteristics of standard methods for recording work from which the most suitable data for modeling are obtained. The statistical modeling of work time for construction processes is shown on the basis of theoretical observations, research and an enormous amount of measured work time which were carried out by the author. Some suppositions about developments in this field are also given.
