From July 1, 2018, the policy called the maximum 52-hour workweek was enforced. This policy became a challenge the construction site should solve. Compared to other industries, the construction industry more relies on human resources. Moreover, in the construction industry, it is essential to complete a building within a set period of time. However, the 52-hour workweek policy has reduced working hours from before, making it difficult to finish construction work within a fixed period of time. Considering these characteristics of the construction field, the government implemented some policies, such as the increase in the number of workers deployed at construction sites and the flexible working system. However, it is still difficult to meet the construction period. Therefore, this study focused on changes that would be occurred since working hours have been reduced from the 68-hour workweek to the 52-hour workweek. In conclusion, it has been analyzed that the construction period has been prolonged due to the reduction of working hours caused by the 52-hour workweek system, and the ratio of labor costs to total construction costs has decreased.
