Structural Analysis of Labour Costs for the Construction of Buildings and Their Structural Elements

Abstract

The total labor costs for the construction of buildings or their structural elements include the labor costs of all categories of workers (including the management of construction production) involved in the creation of construction products from the start of preparatory work to the putting the object into operation. These include the labor costs of workers of various specialties and qualifications engaged in the performance of the entire complex of basic construction work and controlling of machines and mechanisms, auxiliary work involved in relocation, maintenance and repair of construction equipment, arrangement of the infrastructure of a construction site, engineering and technical workers, service staff and employees of the management apparatus. The systematization of all types of labor costs and their structural analysis makes it possible to identify promising segments for the implementation of measures to reduce the corresponding labor costs, which most significantly affect the reduction of total labor costs for the construction of buildings.
