The weather impacts on construction sites

A very interesting study for those considering
costs and quality of new construction. Possible
rainfall accounts for one hours direct production
construction workers per day.

There is considerable scope for improvement. When you build
in April and May, you get more for your money.

Quote from the report: "... the weather affects construction output to a large extent. The weather impact
on site depends on the size of the construction site, at what stage you are, the season
and weather variation from year to year. Working in all the days lost in the pure
productivity for each construction workers on average 1 hours per day at the precipitation, 15 minutes
because of temperature and 7 minutes at high wind speeds. On average, the crane is stationary
almost 21 days per year, almost two days per month.

However, one should bear in mind that these data apply only to productivity reduction and not the
extra work arising from adverse weather conditions. By making use of
data presented in the paper, you can plan for any production-free days ."...
