ESTIMATING LABOR UNIT DATA FOR CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION

M
uch has been said about concrete and its wide range of usage in the construction field, but all too little has been said of the cost of labor for the installation of this important material. It is absurd simply to say that a unit or block of work is worth so many dollars because it cost your company a certain price for the same type of work on a previous project of the same nature. To the limited field of literature on the subject of labor units for the placement of concrete, a comprehensive new book has been added: Estimators General Construction Manhour Manual, compiled by John S. Page, and published by the Gulf Publishing Company of Houston, Texas. It covers, among other things, the placement of concrete in various forms and under va ri o u s conditions. This comprehensive information provides an authoritative source of data on labor units in manhours that will prove valuable to the general construction contractor, as well as architectural, engineering and plant personnel concerned with construction labor cost. As an estimating tool there are two features which particularly contribute to this book: (1) It covers practically every type of concrete construction that will be encountered on residential, commercial and industrial building including forms, reinforcing steel, and concrete placement. (2) Each table of manhour units contains adequate explanations of the specific operations covered. By special permission of the publishers, Concrete Construction is privileged to present a portion of the manhour unit data relating to its field. the crews The six classifications of production elements are: general economy, project supervision, labor relations, job conditions, equipment conditions and weather conditions. Using the scale indicated by the five numbered ranges above, the estimator evaluates each of the six factors in percentages and obtains the average of these six percentages in order to determine the overall productivity efficiency of his crews on the particular project under consideration. As an example let us assume that the estimator rates these six production elements as follows: 1. General Economy 75% 2. Project Supervision 3. Labor Relations 4. Job Conditions 5. Equipment 6. Weather 70% 65% 60% 70% 50%

PRODUCTIVITY FACTORS
To intelligently use the manhour unit data presented in these tables, the user must give consideration to several factors that tend to affect the productive efficiency of his crews as compared to the productive efficiency of the crews upon whose efforts the table units are based. To assist the user in making these adjustments, the author reports that the tables are based upon a productivity efficiency rate of 70 percent, which he considers average. As a guide to the basis he used in arriving at this percentage, he classifies productivity efficiency into five ranges as follows: 1. Very Low 10- 40% 2. Low 3. Average 4. Very Good 41- 60% 61- 80% 81- 90%

Total 390% Since there are six elements involved, we must now divide the total percentage by the number of elements to arrive at an average percentage of productivity: 390 percent 6 = 65 percent average productivity efficiency. As previously mentioned, the manhour tables are based on an average productivity efficiency of 70 percent; thus these units would have to be increased 5 percent above the tabulated values in order to be applicable to the project under consideration.

EVALUATING THE DATA

Instead of increasing each of the manhour units by 5 percent and then multiplying by the hourly composite rate of the crew, it is much simpler to increase the hourly composite pay rate of the crew by 5 percent (that is, multiply it by 1.05) in order to obtain the adjusted rate, and then to apply this figure directly to the various manhour units which appear in the tables for a given operation. For example, let us assume that our considered project has a certain amount of formwork and that we will need four (4), eight-man crews and that only one general foreman will be needed to head the four crews: General Carpenter Foreman $3.94 per hour Carpenter Foreman $3.69 per hour Journeyman Carpenter $3.44 per hour Laborer $1.95 per hour Truck Driver $2.03 per hour
Note: General foreman and foreman are dead weight since they do not work with their tools; however they must be considered and charged to the composite crews.

5. Excellent 91-100% Before an overall productivity efficiency is obtained, the estimator must first arrive at estimates of six important production elements that will affect the efficiency of

WHAT THE TABLES COVER

The author of these manhour tables points out specifically what has been taken into account in determining these values. The user should study the notes that accompany each table. Also, it is to be especially noted that the tables presented include allowances for labor involved for handling, hauling and installing where applicable, but do not cover the cost of the materials and equipment itself; nor do they include any allowance for overhead cost or profit.

2 hours @ $3.94$ 7.88 8 hours @ $3.69$ 29.52 8 hours @ $3.44$137.60 8 hours @ $1.95$ 31.20 4 hours @ $2.03$ 8.12 $214.32

60 = $3.572 composite manhour rate

For the project under consideration, with the productivity efficiency rated at 65 percent, the manhour rate would be evaluated by multiplying $3.572 by 1.05, which equals $3.75: composite rate for 65 percent productivity. Simply by multiplying the number of manhours estimated for a given block or item of work by the arrived at composite rate, a total estimated direct labor cost, in dollar value, can easily and accurately be obtained, whether it be now or ten years from now and for any geographical location in the world.

Footing & Heavy Mat Forms

MANHOURS PER SQUARE FOOT Footing form manhours are based on using 2-inch by 12-inch material properly braced and anchored. If footing height is to be greater than one foot, add twenty-five percent to manhours for each additional foot or fraction. Assume heavy mat forms to be made of 2-inch material at least 3 feet high. If mats are to be greater than 3 feet in height, add 10 percent for each additional foot or fraction. Manhours in all of these tables are for initial set-up of one use. If forms are to be re-used, eliminate manhours for fabrication and apply Re-Use Factor manhours on page 5. Manhours in these tables do not ever include the placement or setting of anchor bolts or miscellaneous embedded steel items. See respective tables for these charges.
