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.

Dear All,

For those experience planners, is it possible for 1 electrician + labor / floor to work on residential bldg? 
I am working on rough estimate of manhours on site.

Thanks PP members

Hi,

I would like to prefer the Electrical works to be divided to 1st, 2nd & Final Fix.

for 1st Fix (Embedded items in the slab)-2 Electricians and 4 Helpers

for 2nd Fix(Embedded items in walls and fixtures)-3 Electricians and 6 Helpers

for Final Fix -1 Electrician and 2 Helpers

 

Always consider 2 Helpers with 1 Electrician.

 

 

Regards

Abdul Hannan

You need to consider the number of residential units on each floor.

for a simple approximation for a 2bed unit I would allow 2man day to 1st Fix (conduit & wiring prior to plaster), 1 man day 2nd fix fittings & db, 1 man day Final fix, 1 man day test & commission.

Hi there!

Of course it would be, it all depends what they needed to install, how they would do the work, and how much time they'd have to do it...
