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.

Without drawings and specifications you cannot make a good estimate, it is not the same for different block size, not the same production rate for blocks to be installed on the ground than for blocks to be installed using scaffolding. Also the vertical and horizontal reinforcement matter. That is why most companies do not outsource scheduling unless the specifications call for a scheduling software they do not know. It is a pity industry have not realized that scheduling should be done in-house, by the team that will be in charge of the means and methods. We have some specifications that even require the contractor to hire an external scheduler to use their particular software choice, unbelievable but true.

Hi Planners, Production rate in Planning Planet is great, but I think it will be more meaningful if the Production Rate will be associated with basic Crew Description and Equipment Detail. Thanks, Nanding

Hi Arun

The most precise way to get production rates for your project is to look at the tender breakdown.

The individual rates should be set at Labour - Plant - Material.

The money can be converted to hours using the labour rate per hour.

If there is no individual labour rate then apply a reasonable labour percentage - 35% to 40% for blockwork

You should also take account of the other items related to blockwork productivity:

Openings and lintels

Angle head restraints

M&E Openings

Fire Proofing etc.

These should all be added to the blockwork hours and then allocated pro rata to your programme tasks.

Best regards

Mike Testro

m2/mr means some production rate per hour for a crew that can be a mason plus a helper

m2/m-hr would be production rate per man-hour

Production rates without crew description are misleading, even per man-hour, you might have several production rates depending on the crew composition. It is not the same moving dirt with a 10-cm truck than with a 20-cm truck for one hour or one man-hour. It is not the same placing concrete with a wheelbarrow than with a 90-cm per hour concrete pump that can swallow several concrete trucks in an hour with ease, two chutes side by side so there is no waiting between trucks.
