The main objectives of this study were to establish the labour output constants for block work; to find the factors affecting labour output in blockwork; and to compare the research findings to the labour output at the site for block work. Data will be collected using the Delphi and field questionnaire survey. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and Nvivo will be used to analyse data from the field questionnaire survey and Delphi respectively.

- Description: Abstract: In general, a very high level of waste exists in construction; according to Koskela (2012). Although it is difficult to systematically measure all wastes in construction. Various studies from various countries have confirmed that waste represents a relatively large percentage of production costs. The main objective of this research among others is aimed at developing an integrated framework for the adoption of lean construction principles as a tool to revolutionize Real estate industry in Ghana. The researcher purposively selected a sample size of forty (40) out of the total population of four hundred (400) registered Real estate Development companies of GREDA (Ghana Real Estates Development Association) as multiple case studies to respond to the research questions.

- Description: Abstract: The Ghana's Construction Industry Develop Agenda (CIDA) is plagued with many challenges. The objectives of this paper are: to identify the root cause of the challenges and examine the right corporate strategy for overcoming it. The paper adopts a descriptive study design and uses literature review as a method to summarize and examine relevant extant literature on the subject and to show why marketing is indispensable for the development of the construction industry in Ghana. Findings reveal that the challenges confronting the construction industry development agenda are unique to developing nations and largely emanates from competition. The need exist for adoption of marketing by construction businesses as a means to enhance their competitive advantage which are necessary for overcoming the construction industry development challenges. The CIDA may remain a mirage unless the effort to develop the construction industry is underpinned by construction business development through effective marketing management of construction business enterprises, to overcome the effects of competition.
