  • The construction market has a major impact on the overall United States economy. Recent statistics estimate the gross domestic product (GDP) of the U.S. construction industry at some $416.4{\$}$ billion dollars, representing approximately $4.5\%$ of the U.S. GDP. Because the business environment in construction is highly competitive, the participants in the industry must improve their performance and processes to survive. Hence, Benchmarking has been generating interest in the construction industry. This paper provides an overview of the CII Benchmarking and Metrics Program. Following some background and a descriptive discussion of the database, an abridged presentation of result of data analysis. The adoption of benchmarking in Korean construction industry can be another opportunity to improve Korean construction industry.

  • Development of social overhead capital (SOC) requires huge national finance, and performance issues such as cost-efficiency, safety, and environment have been constantly raised. However, currently each construction client has limited access to its own projects' performance without analytic methodology for industry-level comparisons and benchmarking for improvement. To overcome this problem, this study proposes a comprehensive performance analysis framework for post-evaluation of large-scale construction projects. To this end, this study performed a case study of advanced countries (the U.S., the U.K. and Japan) and consultation with related experts to develop a tailored performance analysis framework for the Post- Construction Evaluation and Management system in Korea. The developed framework covers three categories (project performance, project efficiency, and ripple effect), nine areas (cost, schedule, change, safety, quality, demand, benefit-cost ratio, civil complaint, and defect), and 31 detailed metrics. Using industry-level project performance database and statistical techniques, the proposed framework can be used not only to diagnose excellent and unsatisfactory performance areas for completed construction projects, but also to provide reference data for future similar projects. This study can contribute to the improvement of clients' performance management practices and effectiveness of construction projects.
