Abstract
Infrastructure and building construction are essential sectors driving economic growth, contributing significantly to job creation, technological advancement, and economic development. This research aims to measure the productivity of labor in installing red brick walls and compare it with standards set by regulations. Utilizing observation and data collection methods, followed by comprehensive data analysis, this study assesses on-site labor productivity and benchmarks it against standards from the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR). Additionally, simple forecasting models, such as linear regression, are employed to predict future productivity trends. The findings reveal higher on-site productivity compared to regulatory benchmarks, potentially due to superior management practices, advanced techniques, and favorable working conditions. The predictive model (y = 0.2828x + 5.5273) indicates a positive productivity trend over time, despite daily fluctuations influenced by various factors. The research underscores the importance of aligning field practices with regulatory standards and provides insights into construction sector policy developments. The results offer valuable data for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of construction projects and inform future policy recommendations to enhance labor productivity in the industry.
