摘要

The Architectural/Engineering/Construction (AEC) industry comprises a large portion of the global economy, contributing significantly to gross domestic product (GDP) and employment. Entangled with crucial upstream and downstream industries, the AEC also plays an important role in the global supply chain; and monitoring the trajectory of the industry is therefore important for the individuals who are directly or indirectly involved in the industry. Nevertheless, analysts are deprived of tools specifically devised to evaluate the health of what we will now refer to generally as the construction industry. The available indices are essentially finance-driven and generic, disregarding the specific characteristics of the construction industry. Construction is known as a high risk, capital and asset intensive industry, involving large-scale projects with longer payback periods. This paper reports on the preliminary results of ongoing research at Purdue University, which would lead to the development of specific construction industry health indices. This research investigates the existing indices applied within the industry to identify gaps in the current literature and, most importantly, proposes a multi-dimensional definition of health for the industry. The interim outcome of the research is a methodological prototype that can be applied by decision-makers to develop indices that indicate current health of the industry. The final developed prototype could be applied to enhance protocols for strategic planning.
