CALCULATIONS
I.
Man-days =
(Quantity of work to be performed) X (Man-Hours from above table)
8 hrs per day
II. Resource required =
Man-days
Planned Duration (in days)
III. Resource output rate per day =
(Quantity of work to be performed)
Resource required X Planned Duration (in days)
Example: 1/2" thick cement plaster on brick walls (interior) including mixing of mortar.
Labour required = 1 Mason require 0.06 hrs to do 1 sft; for 70,000 sft:
I.
Mandays =
(70,000 sft X 0.06 hrs/sft)/8 = 525 man-days
II.
Masons required =
525 man-days / 45 planned days = 11.67 Nos = Say 12 Masons.
III. Mason output rate/day =
(70,000 sft)/(45 planned days X 12 Masons) = 130 sft per day
