Question
QUESTION: can u explain the site assembly on construction side?
and productivty cycle?

ANSWER: Zeeshan, please explain what you are doing or what you are asking about.  I do not understand the question as you asked it.

Is your question about site assembly referring to installing parts and pieces on the work site?

QUESTION: yes sir i need this

Answer
Zeeshan, I don't know how to answer this one.  Everything on a construction site is site assembled.  

As an example:
The steel superstructure is shop fabricated to print/spec/and shop drawing - it is site assembled by iron workers (usually a subcontractor) who weld or bolt the assembly together.


I guess the productivity cycle would have to do with the drawing and manufacturing time in the steel yard required before the actual site assembly.

This sounds a bit like a homework question.
