Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Michael

All production outputs should be extracted from the cost plan / boq.

If the estimator has set down a labour - plant - material beakdown then total resource values can be extracted and converted to hours by way of the resource cost rate.

If you do not have such a breakdown then you can apply a percentage that represents the labour value - applied to the net total - and again converted to hours.

If you have any doubt about what percentage to use then consult the estimator or qs or refer to any of the pricing books.

You should avoid using Ad Hoc production rates because this will have no bearing on your particular project.

Best regards
