Guide — Labour & Manpower Planner
The labour planning calculator below follows standard Indian construction practice and the relevant IS-code conventions. Enter the site dimensions exactly as measured, press Calculate Now, then refine the quantities line by line in the live sheet before you export.
Man-days are the quantity divided by the productivity norm. Typical Indian site norms: 3–4 m² of 12 mm plaster per mason-day, 500 bricks per mason-day in 230 mm walls, and 100 kg of rebar cut and fixed per fitter-day.
Crew size is man-days divided by the available working days, rounded up. Always add a 10–15% allowance for absenteeism, festivals and weather days in the monsoon months.
Productivity falls sharply above four storeys without a hoist, in congested reinforcement, and in the last hour of a shift. Programme critical pours in the first half of the day.
Treat every output as an indicative pre-tender estimate. Site conditions, wastage allowances, specification changes and local market rates all move the final figure, so validate against your drawings and approved rate analysis before procurement.

About the Labour & Manpower Planner
This tool is built for site engineers, quantity surveyors, contractors and property investors who need dependable numbers fast. Every input is reactive — changing a single field instantly recomputes the full output set, so you can run sensitivity checks on dimensions, grades and rates before committing to an estimate.
Keep unit consistency in mind: metric inputs (metres, square metres, cubic metres) produce metric outputs, with imperial and Indian trade units shown alongside where they are commonly used on site.
