Ship construction is still often the most labour-intensive stage of shipbuilding, unless the shipyard is well organised and uses large blocks. Ships are constructed usually in a dry dock, though in some cases on a slipway or on flat ground, in which case they are launched using a ship lift. Minimising work at this stage is important because the same task can take many more labour hours than earlier in a workshop. Using large blocks or units requires very good control of accuracy as the assemblies are very difficult to adjust. Some shipyards therefore use smaller units, more typical of shipyards in the second half of the twentieth century. Efficient use of the construction site is important because it is the most expensive facility and how quickly a ship can be constructed dictates how many ships can be built and hence the shipyard income.
