The fundamentals of a building block in estimating construction labour estimates as follows:
Crew mix:
- Crew mix is approximately the combination of 72% of skilled workers and 28% of unskilled workers. The size of the crew depends on the type of project, the schedule of the project, and the amount of work required to be completed within that time frame.
Work hour unit rates per quantity:
- Work hour unit rate per quantity is the method to estimate the construction cost of quantities completed in one hour. Or in other words, work hour rate one quantity completed in one hour.
Project quantities:
- Project quantities are defined as the quantities used in the project. Or in other words, the project quantities are the estimated amount of quantities (or material) used in the construction of the project.
Hence, the project owner is not a fundamental building block in estimating construction labour estimates.
Additional Information
Project owner:
- Project owner is a person (party or parties) responsible for funding the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a trade project or simple project.
