Labor productivity improvements - field note 021

In the 8‑week residential block build in Surat, I introduced a task‑based incentive scheme for the carpentry crew that increased daily output from 1,200 sq‑ft to 1,650 sq‑ft. The project finished 5 days early, and the owner accepted a 2 % bonus. Insight: clear KPIs drive motivation.

• Set daily volume targets per worker.
• Track progress with a digital tablet check‑in.
• Offer a 5 % bonus for every 100 sq‑ft over target.
• Hold a mid‑project review to reset goals.
