Estudio comparativo de rendimientos de mano de obra en la construcción en Colombia

Abstract

This monograph addresses the issue of the lack of detailed studies on labor productivity in the construction sector in Colombia, a deficiency that negatively impacts the planning and execution of construction projects in the country. Through a comparative evaluation of various methodologies used to calculate labor productivity and an analysis of previous studies, the aim is to provide builders with a useful and accessible tool to improve decision-making in their projects. The study identifies and compares the most used methodologies in Colombia, such as companies' own experience, direct measurement on-site, and the use of documentary information. Each of these methodologies presents advantages and disadvantages that should be considered when applying them in different contexts. Additionally, the variability in results obtained by different studies is analyzed, highlighting the importance of adapting methodologies to the specific conditions of each project. By consolidating and analyzing the available information on productivity, this work provides a solid foundation for future research and developments, contributing to the strengthening of the construction industry in the country.
