Construction labor productivity definition. Learn how to measure the efficiency of your crews and identify profit leakage in the field.

Calculation Formula

Productivity = Output (e.g., Sq Ft) / Input (e.g., Labor Hours)

Real Contractor Example

One crew hangs 20 sheets of drywall in 8 hours (2.5 sheets/hr), while another hangs 15. The difference in productivity impacts the job margin.
