Best practices and productivity, their relationship in concrete operations in Honduran buildings 2015

Abstract

The career of Civil Engineering and MICGP following a line of established research developed a study to analyze the relationship between the implementation of best management practices, proposed by the Institute of Construction Industry (CII), and productivity in concrete operations observed by the management team in building projects in Honduras during the period from 2014 to 2015. For this purpose, the members of the administrative team of 15 multi-family construction projects, commercial buildings, and hospitals in San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa were consulted; at a construction cost of more than 10 million Lempiras. The data, after being processed, and the instruments test for evidence of reliability and validity, both in the pilot test and consultation, then, descriptive statistics and nonparametric Spearman correlation tests were applied. Evidence shows that although the management teams of the buildings studied there is little to no implementation of these practices, there is a relationship between the largest implementation of practices and better productive performance in concrete operations, it is most evident in data from project of Central District, likely to be provided by representatives of the builder. As it concluded that the Honduran building would significantly improve their performance to boost the implementation of such practices.
