摘要：	When projects are delayed or disrupted, it is quite common for contractors to submit claims for loss of labor productivity. These claims are based on the contractor incurring more labor hours than anticipated and believing that someone should pay for the attendant costs. To recover, contractors have to prove that their labor productivity was negatively impacted and that they should receive some financial recovery. Where they typically struggle is in proving what that recovery should be. There is an abundance of literature that explains how to prove a loss of productivity claim. The most effective way is using what is commonly called a measured mile approach, which compares productivity on work that was not disrupted by problems with work that was disrupted. Industry research studies, such as those published by the Mechanical Contractors Association of America, approximate productivity expected from certain events - like the prolonged effect of overtime or working in congested areas.
