🛠️ How It Works
- •Enter total built-up area and floor count for an overall project timeline estimate.
- •Use the Labor Section to calculate exactly how many workers to hire for specific tasks.
- •Timeline is based on IS standard mason rates (e.g., 1.2 m³ brickwork/day).
📐 Calculation Formula
Duration = 6 + ⌈(Area-1000)/500⌉ + (Floors-1)×1.5
Crew Requirements = Total Task / (Mason Rate × Days)
📋 Real-Life Example
Planning a 2000 sq.ft home (2 floors):
• Duration: ~10.5 months.
• Task: 100m³ Brickwork in 10 days → Needs ~8-10 masons daily.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕Overloading masons — unrealistic productivity targets lead to structural shortcuts and poor finishing.
- ✕Ignoring curing periods — do not count curing days (7-14 days per slab) as active "working days" for labor targets.
- ✕Lack of daily reporting — tiny daily delays add up to months of expensive project extensions.
