AB  - Production metrics (PM) make it more likely for design and construction projects to stay on track through rapid feedback. 17 PM sub-categories from recent literature were used to label PM reported as useful by 155 AEC professionals enrolled in the 4th edition of a certificate program in Virtual Design and Construction in Norway (VDCCP). More than 36% of the professionals reported PM related to 2 sub-categories, i.e., plan adherence, and agenda items of collaborative sessions. Fewer than 5% of the professionals reported PM related to 6 sub-categories, i.e., inspections and punch lists, clash detection and resolution, rework during design, rework during construction, safety performance, and follow-up after collaborative sessions. This research extended a previous study by providing a more granular view of PM found useful by AEC professionals which had not been possible earlier. Comparing PM from the 4th edition of the VDCCP to those from the 1st edition indicated a maturity in the understanding of PM among enrolled professionals, emphasizing the importance of professional education in opening pathways for standardizing and benchmarking PM in the AEC industry.
