Construction productivity–how well, how quickly, and at what cost buildings and infrastructure may also be constructed–in an instant affects prices for homes and consumer goods and the robustness of the national economy. Industry analysts differ on whether construction industry productivity is making improvements to or declining. Still, advances in to be had and emerging technologies offer significant opportunities to reinforce construction efficiency substantially within the 21st century and to lend a hand meet other national challenges, such as environmental sustainability.

Advancing the Competitiveness and Efficiency of the U.S. Construction Industry identifies five interrelated activities that could significantly reinforce the quality, timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of construction projects.

These activities include widespread deployment and use of interoperable technology applications; improved job-web page efficiency through more effective interfacing of people, processes, materials, equipment, and information; greater use of prefabrication, preassembly, modularization, and off-web page fabrication techniques and processes; innovative, widespread use of demonstration installations; and effective performance measurement to drive efficiency and make stronger innovation. The book recommends that the National Institute of Standards and Technology work with industry leaders to develop a collaborative strategy to fully enforce and deploy the five activities
