LABOUR SCHEDULE
This schedule indicates the number and type of labourers required for each construction. The consolidated labour schedule shows the number and period for labourers of different classes. Labour schedules help in making arrangement for labourers of different categories well in advance. Calculation of labour strength required for various activities during specified period should be done.
CALCULATION OF LABOUR STRENGTH REQUIRED
Total quantity of internal plaster of building ‘A’
= 2000 sq.m. (21,500 sq.ft)
Total quantity of external plaster of building ‘A’
= 1500 sq.m. (16,000 sq.ft.)
Total days given for plastering
= 25 days.
Assumed task work of one mason
= 14 m2 (150 sq.ft.) per day.
Total masons required (Actual working days 20 only)
3500/14 = 250 masons.
Therefore, masons per day
= 250/20
= 12.5 say 13 mason/day.
Accordingly we can calculate other unskilled labourers male coolies, female coolies required per day.
