Undivided attention is being driven by construction productivity in today’s era. The main and the foremost concern of any organization is its construction productivity. The discovery of factors impacting construction productivity has been the subject of much research. For a very long time, research has sought to identify the key elements influencing building productivity in various nations. Continuous work in this approach has led academics to identify a wide range of factors. While the subject of this paper is however has been limited to Sindh province of Pakistan only. The construction industry of Pakistan is swelling with each passing day thus construction productivity is of the major concern. This paper aims at exposing the key weakness in current construction practices being employed in various building projects of Sindh. For this purpose, 135 questionnaires, after a rich literature survey, were distributed among the industry experts and the obtained results were analyzed and then ranked in Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS). It was revealed through the results that 10 factors chiefly influence the construction productivity which are shortage of unskilled labor, payment delay, less salary, insufficient modern tools, delay in delivery of material at site, material shortage and quality, labor absenteeism, equipment breakdown, experience of contractor and construction technology. At the end of the study, it is recommended that a framework maybe developed based upon the factors given above to improve the construction productivity of the building projects of Sindh.
Technology-based service is no longer an afterthought for public and commercial businesses in today's dynamic, competitive, global economic climate; rather, it is a need. It has become essential for businesses to offer their clients a comprehensive, cost-effective solution that also improves customer happiness. Eprocurement has played a significant role globally. It has so far entirely dominated Pakistan in terms of displaying a stepped-wise technique for its adoption at each stage of projects. After achieving success across the board in different projects, e-procurement began to attract the interest of numerous researchers in its application to construction projects. The literature study, however, reveals that many of the studies conducted in this field are limited to particular regions. Thus, there aren't many observational studies on the role of IT in the supply chain cycle. The aim of this study is to identify the eprocurement factors that effect the performance of supply chain management in Pakistan's construction industry. The study adopted the use of questionnaires and interview schedules to collect primary data. The research also adopted a descriptive design to collect quantitative and qualitative data that describes the effects of e-procurement factors on supply chain performance. For this, a questionnaire was designed and collected data from experienced workers. Data were analyzed in SPSS 25. The data of the questionnaire survey showed the importance of factors that affect the supply chain performance and ranked them according to mean and standard values. From the analysis results, the top e-procurement factors have been identified for construction industry of Pakistan.
