Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Let this tread to be a tread that recording all the production rate for all trade including earthwork, piling work, RC work, Architectural work,Road Works, infrastructure works, M & E Works etc.

anyone who has a link or book about the production rate, you are welcome to share here.

This production rate just serve as a guide for planning & scheduling purpose as we know that depends on many factors: eg. piling works: depends on the hammer performance, operator skill, ground condition, etc.

Hi Thomas

You are searching for the holy grail of the planning community.

As you have said the number of variables is infinite.

The best advice I can give you is go to the Contract Price breakdown and tease out the production hours which can be allocated to the programme activities - either by reasonable labour/plant percentage or recognised price books such as Hutchinson or Wessex.

This will give you a starting point. Actual production rates can then be compared as the work proceeds and your programme adjusted.

Keep a record of the actual production rates and over the years you will gain a valuable document.

Best regards
