Conditions, such as weather or elevation, can affect the performance and productivity of a construction site. An adjustment factor can be applied to IWPs and individual work steps to compensate for any influencing conditions. Adjustment factors calculate the number of hours required to perform a task under project conditions, compared to the number of hours required to perform the same task under standard conditions.

You can add adjustment factors to work steps of engineered components and SIDs.
