THE ELECTRONIC PRODUCTIVITY SUBMISSION SYSTEM (ePSS) HANDS-ON TRAINING AND BASIC CONCEPT IN CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT

The new electronic Productivity Submission System (ePSS) aims to familiarize builders with how construction productivity can be improved.

During the course, the various functions of the ePSS and other key areas (e.g. definition and measurement of site productivity etc.) will be explained. Participants will also go through hands-on training on the system as part of the learning process.

The submission of productivity data to BCA via ePSS is compulsory for main contractors with projects GFA of 5,000m² or more. However, all main builders & subcontractors are welcome to sign up and learn more about productivity measurement & the Construction Productivity and Capability Fund (CPCF).

The details of the next training session by BCA Officers are as follow:
