Reinventing Construction: A Route to Higher Productivity
McKinsey & Company
2017
In this report, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) and the McKinsey Capital Projects & Infrastructure Practice examine the root causes of poor productivity growth in the construction industry. They explore practical ways to improve the situation and discuss the beginnings of a shift in parts of the sector toward a system of mass production, standardisation, prefabrication, and modularisation – a production system that has the potential to boost productivity by five to ten times, depending on the sector.
