Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Construction productivity improvement has become a key area of focus among academia and industry over the last decade attributable to its strong potential in benefitting the construction industry. Despite its high impact on the construction industry, productivity improvement is still an area in which much research work needs to be done to explore its true potential in a practical industry context. Today’s construction industry seems to adopt productivity improvement initiatives to gain a competitive edge in the global market place; however, systematization of these approaches is still an area of concern. This paper discusses a framework for the implementation of productivity improvement activities on a construction site, making the process more systematic, accountable, and sustainable with the creation of the construction productivity improvement officer (CPIO), a dedicated position, on construction sites.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
