Abstract:

The construction industry supports global economic growth and urban expansion but frequently struggles with delays, budget overruns, and compromised quality. These issues negatively impact operational efficiency—the optimal use of labor, materials, and equipment to minimize waste and delays. This study employs a systematic literature review to evaluate practical strategies for enhancing efficiency through detailed project planning, precise resource allocation, and effective technology adoption such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), modular construction, and drones. It emphasizes the importance of robust communication channels, SMART goal-setting, and regular safety training. Implementing these recommendations enables construction managers to streamline operations, reduce costs, improve quality, and avoid common pitfalls, thereby fostering sustainable growth and long-term competitiveness.

Keywords: Operational Efficiency, Construction Management, Resource Allocation, Project Planning, Cost Estimation, Safety Training, Technology Adoption, Modular Construction, Communication.
