How much to do you?

Sambhoy
You've lost your way here somewhat fella.

im not disagreeing with Alans format just commenting on where does it end, I can think of many more scenarios to add, this subject is perhaps a little over most of our heads, possibly more engaging if we had started with HOW MUCH IS EACH MAN DOING PER DAY then done the maths after.

Please refer to original post.

How much to do you?

Well I can be forgiven your title is a bit mixed up and the post flirts from how its measured to how much is done which probably confused every one especially the street slashers only leaving you with the refined industrial tea drinkers !!! and I see zero input from them.

alan you don't half talk some **** were you ever a scaffolder ? or just another wannabe ?

who got into pricing jobs that there isn't enough money in for the scaffolder to do? then you get the supervisor in telling you there aint money in the job we get fed up with ppl like you trying to justify your job

Not on here to justify myself to anyone Sambhoy, fell free to check my credentials.

I think we have come full circle, how much a man out puts = how many components per hour take a mans cost (not wage) divide it by how many components he uses in a day = cost per component x how many components in the job = labour cost.

The difficulty is knowing the right number of components for a days work.

It's not about keeping scaffolders employed, its about making enough money to keep them employed.

Yes I realize the title is wrong. Early morning starts I am afraid. But please revisit the actual post.

How work is measured and how much is done is a pretty normal thing on contracts which are tendered and are re-measurable. Pretty vital on lump sum work as well. Even cost plus work will have a labour PF that contractors are expected to meet or better.
I just thought maybe members had come across it in the UK.

Alan, 24 man hours per tonne erected is the base productivity on one project here! Wish I had got that when I was on the spanners!
Oh well better put the kettle on for a cuppa.

Looking at those numbers that equates to 2.5 standards (cuplok) per hour or 4.5 number 2.5m ledgers. If you use part of one standard and 4 ledgers per hour that would equate to 12.5m3 per hour around 100 m3 per day. A reasonable average in the ME if you can get it!!
