KPI report for the Minister for Construction- report 2000.pdf (Acrobat file- 155kb) 

This report produced by the KPI Working Group sets out a comprehensive framework that construction enterprises can use to measure their performance against the rest of the industry, and has been designed to be used by organisations, large or small, specialist or supplier, designers or constructors.

The KPI Working Group was made up from a broad spectrum of members representing all sides of the Construction Industry and its Clients.

The KPI Report was the culmination of the group’s work and represents its collective views on the measurement of the industry’s performance and is a direct response to Sir John Egan’s report Rethinking Construction called for by the Minister for Construction.

It builds on the ten headline KPIs introducing more operational and diagnostic measures set in a benchmarking framework, which can be used to analyse performance throughout the whole supply chain.  The report is made available in Adobe Acrobat format for downloading.

The report is also available in hard copy from: ODPM, PO Box 236, Wetherby, West Yorkshire, LS23 7NB. Tel. 0870 1226 235. Price: free of charge (quote product code 99 CD 0820).
