description The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of time and cost management on the productivity of labour within UAE construction firms. Construction companies like Emaar and Arms Construction have focused on time and budget optimisation activities in terms of executing construction activities in the UAE. The optimisation of time and cost ensures the projection of the highest utilisation of the financial and human resources, which results in achieving the highest labour productivity with lower investment. Technology tools like BIM, 3D printing, and project management software are used for optimising the cost and time usage that delivers the highest efficiency of financial and human resources in terms of the construction of buildings. In this study, the data collection is primary and it is done with managers, engineers, supervisors, etc., with the process of analysis carried out through the help of SPSS. The findings suggest that the major factors that are required to be improved by construction managers constitute the proper estimation of costs, project scheduling, and the proper allocation of resources. It is also linked with the right kind of control for risks and proper communication with quality parameters. It was also found that BIM integration, 3D modelling, and software linked with project management help in improving the process of managing construction projects. The integration of BIM, 3D printing, and project management software has made work easier in the construction sector in terms of designing unique and innovative building designs, and the application of software tools has made the completion of projects easier with fewer mistakes.
