what is the productivity of a labor in a masonry works or in other works, since laying is
8-10 sq.m/day is it labor included or not? if included how many Thanks
Hi po Sir Emmanuel, that is 8-10 square meter/day (around 100-120 pcs of CHB per day). Semi-skilled workers normally can install 60-70 pcs of CHB per day. Thanks!
Meaning 100-120pcs Chb, it is referring only to a 1 Skilled worker (Mason) without helper?
like 1 mason, 2 labor for 100 – 120 chb per day?
how many helper per 1 mason so he can lay 8-10 sq.m per one day? Thanks
pls answer emmanuel question. tinatanong po nya kung isang mason lang o may kasamang helper. your answer would be of great help
What is Mh/MT?
Man Hour/ Metric Ton
Hello there, can you add electrical works productivity? thanks
Hi good day. pakiclarify naman ang 7. STRUCTURAL STEEL vs G.1 STRUCTURAL STEEL kung ano difference ng dalawa.
Thanks!. Your Prices are very helpful. All of these will be more effective if you have the latest updated prices as of late 2019 or 2020.
More Power!
Happy to help po Sir Efren. Please subscribe to keep posted 🙂
Very informative. Hope you can update the labor cost especially for structural works and kindly include the sheet piles. Thanks
More of the productivity rate please. 😦
Is that values you give is for one worker only? like for example in common excavation by hand..if you said it will be 6MH/m3 then if there are two workers then it will now be 3MH/m3? or am i getting it wrong? thanks
Is that manhour/unit is for one worker?like for example in common excavation by hand..if you said that there is 6MH/m3..then if two workers will work then it will now be 3MH/m3? Sorry I’m just a bit lost.. thanks for answering!
The 6MH/m3 this means that 1 worker can finish the manual excavation in 6hrs in one cubic meter. if you put 2 workers can be done in 3hrs. Therefore, this is realistic.
Please have a legend for the units. What is f2 or m2? Square meter is written like m².
Comment noted Sir Orlantus. Thank you!
Is it 1worker that you consider or set of workers???
Please kindly reply
