Benchmarking, a continuous performance improvement process, has been recently introduced in the construction industry. This paper introduces a Cosntruction Industry Institute(CII) benchmarking program that has initiated and performed benchmarking practice in construction and shows results of benchmarking research. Recently CII adopted web based technology to collect, analyze, and provide feedback in real time. Data for cost, schedule, safety, practice use, and productivity are now collected on-line during project execution from the most remote project sites. Confidential reports are returned online showing metric scores, performance quartiles, and graphical comparisons of individual project performance to a database of similar projects. A background and a descriptive discussion of the database is provided, and a few key finding from the data analyses are presented. The result of this paper also shows that benchmarking can be also implemented in Korean construction industry.
