New study reveals up to 80% of construction site work is inefficient

A recent doctoral study has revealed a startling fact: as much as 80% of the work done on construction sites does not directly contribute to the progress of building projects. The study, conducted by Christopher Görsch at Aalto University, highlights inefficiencies caused by frequent interruptions and offers a solution to boost productivity while improving worker well-being—real-time monitoring of on-site activities.
