Abstract
The oversea construction contract amount has sharply increased since 2003. The contractor's capability for EPC and project management is a key factor for a successful industrial construction project. Construction performance measurement and evaluation is needed to improve contractor's project management capability. Therefore, this paper proposes the construction performance benchmarking program for oversea industrial projects. Performance metrics consists of project cost, schedule, quality, and safety. Data from 10 oversea industrial projects were collected and analyzed. Also, this paper describes the process for development of the benchmarking program and lessons learned from industry are summarized. Finally, this paper recommends how sustainable benchmarking program should be established and implemented.
