Contractors: Do You Need Help Figuring Your Man-Load on a Project?
July 22, 2019
At Charter Estimating, we use formulas that will take the stress out of estimating and allocation of manpower. Learn how to correctly man load your projects to increase profits and lower your overhead! Below is an example of the figures we calculate.
Average
Man-Loading
Number
of
estimated
man-hours
=
2,910
Number
of
hours
in
a
work
day
=
8
Number
of
work
days
in
one
month
=
20
Number
of
months
in
contract
=
6
2,910 (total hours) ÷ 8 (hours per day) = 364 work days. It will take one man 364 days to complete the contract.
The contract says the job should be completed in 6 months.
6
(months)
x
20
(work
days
per
month)
=
120
contract
days
364
(days
for
1
man) ÷
120
(contract
days)
=
3
men
The average man-load will be three men.
