The purpose of the research is to develop a model for simulation                and forecasting of labor-intensive activities in building                       construction.  The research will examine the theory that a smooth               ideal performance curve underlies the actual performance curve of               crews performing labor-intensive construction activities and that               disturbances, disruptions, and factors affecting the ideal                      performance curve can be quantified statistically.  In order to                 verify this hypothesis, the researchers will document the                       performance of construction crews involved in masonry, structural               steel erections, and framework activities.  The project will be                 conducted in close collaboration with the researchers at Dundee                 University in Scotland.  This collaboration enhances the project                by incorporating relevant data from international activities.
