I am also considering the same for manual excavation 1 m3 / man for 8 hours shift at Oil & Gas plant.
Soil desert type.
But for eqyptians they are considering above 2.3 m3/man here.
I have done a lot of planning experience in basement works.
Allow (1 man - 1m3 / day ) for excavate including transporting the materials to another place such as conveyor belt and to skip.
Soil type Gravel
Depending on the type of soil between 3 and 5 hours per M3.
Also allow for overdig - a 1m3 pit will be about 2m3 without support.
The stiifer the soil the harder the dig but less overdig.
This is from my own experience as a labourer on construction sites.
Best regards
