Labor output and Material output norms / Labor and Material Productivity

Labor output and Material output norms / Labor and Material Productivity is AbOUT standard output norms related to Building construction precisely for Labor and Material. This article is useful for Construction/Project manager, Planning engineer and all those related directly or indirectly to Project Planning and Management. These norms are calculated and referred from below mentioned reliable sources. As output of Labor and material varies with geographical locations across globe, these norms are more suitable for Indian scenario. These norms can certainly prove handy to Project Planning and Management (PPM) personnel as they can use it for performing Labor requirement calculation, material requirement calculation (of Building projects) and for cross checking the existing Daily ProgresS Report (DPR) of their site to know how good the Labor and material is performing. How to use these norms? As the existing page layout allows only vertical typing, sorting of norms are done with each head in bold letters and then subsequently its related data. The norms are mentioned below: Oct, 2009

I] FORMWORK / SHUTTERING

Activity

Footing formwork

Raft formwork

Walls formwork

Staircase formwork

Ramp formwork

Ramp - Deshuttering & Stacking Appropriately at Same Location

Shades Formwork

Weather Shade, Chajjas, Corbels - Deshuttering & Stacking Appropriately at Same Location

II] Reinforcement

Activity

Footing Reinforcement

Walls Reinforcement

Staircase Reinforcement

Further details of Labor and Material output norms of Formwork, Reinforcement and other important works like Earthwork, Concreting, Brickwork, Blockwork, Plastering, Pointing, Painting, Flooring, Stone work, Marble work, Wood Work and Dismantling works are being calculated and will be posted here very soon.
