Analysis & Rates

The capacity of doing work by an artisan or skilled labour in the form of quantity of work per
day is known as the task work or out turn of the labour.
The out-turn of work per artisan varies to some extent according to the nature, size, height,
situation, location, etc., In bigger cities where specialized and experienced labour is
available the out-turn is greater than small towns and country sides. In well organized work
less labour is required.
The following may be taken as the approximate quantity of work or out turn or task for an
average artisan per day.
