Construction Productivity Rates are very important to both Site Engineers, and Planning Engineers. It
could be used to monitor the labor performance, or to estimate the manpower required for a project for
planning and monitoring purposes or for cost estimations. In this article i will share with you civil works
production rates excel sheet where you can find all the civil works related items along with the average
productivity per profession.

Civil works is one of the important trades in any new project. This paper includes the civil works productivity
rates for the following items:

1. Form works
2. Plaster works
3. Block works
4. Concrete works
5. Reinforcement work
6. Tiles works
