1/13

Much has been said about concrete and its widerange of usage in the construction field, but all toolittle has been said of the cost of labor for the installa-tion of this important material. It is absurd simply to say that a unit or block of work is worth so many dollars be-cause it cost your company a certain price for the sametype of work on a previous project of the same nature.

To the limited field of literat u re on the subject of la-bor units for the placement of concrete, a comprehe n-s i ve new book has been added: “E s t i m a t o r’s Ge n e ra lCo n s t ruction Manhour Ma n u a l ,” compiled by John S.Page, and published by the Gulf Publishing Company of Houston, Texas. It covers, among other things, the place-ment of concrete in va rious forms and under va ri o u sco n d i ti o n s. This compre hen s i ve information provi d e s

an authori t at i ve source of data on labor units in man-hours that will prove valuable to the general constru c-tion contractor, as well as architectural, engineering andplant personnel concerned with construction labor cost.

As an estimating tool there are two features which par-ticularly contribute to this book: (1) It covers practicall y every type of concrete construction that will be encoun-t ered on residential, commercial and industrial build-ing including form s, re i n f o rcing steel, and concre t eplacement. (2) Each table of manhour units contains ad-equate explanations of the specific operations covered.

By special permission of the publishers, Co n c re t eCo n s t ruction is privileged to present a portion of the

manhour unit data relating to its field.

PRODUCTIVITY FACTORS

To intelligently use the manhour unit data presentedin these tables, the user must give consideration to sev-eral 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 au-thor reports that the tables are based upon a productiv-ity efficiency rate of 70 percent, which he considers av-erage. As a guide to the basis he used in arriving at thispercentage, he classifies productivity efficiency into five

ranges as follows:

1. Very Low 10- 40%

2. Low 41- 60%

3. Average 61- 80%

4. Very Good 81- 90%

5. Excellent 91-100%

Bef o re an overall productivity efficiency is obtained,the estimator must first arrive at estimates of six impor-tant production elements that will affect the efficiency of

the crews The six classifications of production elementsa re: general economy, project supervision, labor re l a-tions, job conditions, equipment conditions and weath-er conditions.

Using the scale indicated by the five numbered rangesabove, the estimator evaluates each of the six factors inp e rcentages and obtains t he ave rage of these six per-centages in order to determine the ove rall pro ductivit y efficiency of his crews on the particular project underconsideration.

As an example let us assume that the estimator ra t esthese six production elements as follows:

1. General Econom y 75%

2. Project Supervision 70%

3. Labor Relations 65%

4. Job Conditions 60%

5. Equipment 70%

6. Weather 50%

Total 390%

Since there are six elements involved, we must now di-vide the total percentage by the number of elements toar rive at an average percentage of productivit y: 390 per-cent 6 = 65 percent average productivity efficiency.

As previously mentioned, the manhour tables arebased on an ave rage productivity efficiency of 70 per-cent; thus these units would have to be increased 5 per-

cent above the tabulated values in order to be applicableto the project under consideration.

EVALUATING THE DATA

Instead of increasing each of the manhour units by 5percent and then multiplying by the hourly compositerate of the cre w, it is much simpler to increase the hourly composite pay rate of the crew by 5 percent (that is, mul-tiply it by 1.05) in order to obtain the adjusted rate, andthen to apply this figure directly to the various manhourunits which appear in the tables for a given operation.

For example, let us assume that our considered pro-

ject has a certain amount of form work and that we willneed four (4), eight-man crews and that only one gener-al foreman will be needed to head the four cre ws:

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 hourNote: General foreman and foreman are dea d w eightsince they do not work with their tools; however theymust be considered and charged to the compositecrews.

ESTIMATING LABOR UNIT DATA

Foot ing & Heavy Mat FormsMANHOURS PER SQUARE FOOT

Footing form ma nhours are based onusing 2-inch by 12-inch material pro p-erly braced and anchored. If footing height is to be greater than one foot, addt we n t y- f i ve 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 inheight, add 10 percent for each addi-tional foot or fraction.

Manhours in all of these tables are forinitial set-up of one use. If forms are tobe re-used, eliminate manhours for fab-rication and apply Re-Use Factor man-hours on page 5.

Manhours in these tables do not everinclude the placement or setting of an-chor bolts or miscellaneous embeddedsteel items. See re s p e c t i ve tables forthese charges.

CREW FOR COMPOSITE RATE:

One General Foreman 2 hours @ $3.94—$ 7.88

One Foreman 8 hours @ $3.69—$ 29.52

Five Carpenters 8 hours @ $3.44—$137.60

Two Laborers 8 hours @ $1.95—$ 31.20

One Truck Driver 4 hours @ $2.03—$ 8.12

Total for 60 hours $214.32

$214.32 60 = $3.572 co mpos ite ma nhour rateFor the project under consideration, with the produc-

tivity efficiency rated a t 65 percent, the manhour ra t e would be evaluated by multiplying $3.572 by 1.05, whichequals $3.75: composite rate for 65 percent productivit y.

Simply by multiplying the number of manhours esti-mated for a given block or item of work by the arrived atcomposite ra t e, a total estimated direct labor cost, indollar va l u e, can easily and accurately be obtained,

whether it be now or ten years from now and for any ge-ographical location in the world.

WHAT THE TABLES COVER

The author of these manhour tables points out specif-ically what has been taken into account in determining these va l u e s. The user should study the notes that ac-company each table. Also, it is to be especially noted thatthe tables presented include allowances for labor in-vo l ved for handling, hauling and installing where ap-p lica bl e, but do not cover the cost of the materials andequipment itself; nor do they include any allowance for

overhead cost or profit.
