Consequences of non-value adding activities on construction project performance

Non-value adding activities (NVAAs) are considered as problematic in project management. If the NVAAs are not determined, the performance of the contractor during the construction process will be affected. Most of the construction practitioner does not realize that most of the activities performed d...
