What resource is necessary to do a concrete unit job
What resource is necessary to do a concrete unit job
(OP)
Dear Forum....
I am quite fresh in civil engineering but I have one question:
How many / what man-power resource is necessary to construct 1 m3 reinforced concrete structure ?
What I mean: - there is one reinforced concrete box culvert and in BOQ (bill of quantity) it is written that it needs 400m3 of reinforced concrete.... so I want to estimate what man-power is necessary to accomplish a job.
May you help me with my question please... or give me some tips...

However, everyone has to start somewhere. Good, up-to-date cost references are available from RS Means, see:

Even with this data, you will need a detailed understanding the work items needed for a project. As an example, SOME items for reinforced concrete would include:
1. Purchase & deliver permanent and temporary materials to job site.
2. Construct concrete forms.
3. Place and tie rebar.
4. Place concrete.
5. Remove (wreck) concrete forms.
6. and more.
For a box culvert there are also issues such as excavation, backfill, etc. These MAY be covered by other unit prices, instead of being included with the concrete unit price.
The biggest chance of error is NOT using the wrong price. It is forgetting to include an important work item.
As far as the man-power to do the job, that depends on the time schedule. If there is plenty of time, maybe 5 or 6 workers. If time is critical you may have to plan for extended hours since too many workers only get in each others way.

May you advise me some books (that might be free in internet or URLs) to start learning all that stuff....
