Concrete crew hours and labor estimating
Plan and price your concrete labor.
Estimate concrete labor using project area, crew size, production rate, labor rate, setup, forming, finishing, cleanup, equipment, overhead, and minimum charges. Use the connected workflow for the full job, or calculate labor here by itself.

How concrete labor cost is estimated
Concrete labor cost is usually driven by crew size, production rate, wage rate, site access, project complexity, forming, reinforcement, placement method, finishing requirements, cleanup, and minimum job charges. This calculator separates labor phases so you can estimate crew time and total labor cost more clearly.
1. Enter project size
Use length, width, and thickness to estimate surface area and concrete volume.
2. Set crew productivity
Adjust crew size, production rate, labor rate, and extra phase hours for forming, finishing, and cleanup.
3. Review labor cost
Compare direct labor, overhead, minimum charge, cost per square foot, and cost per cubic yard.
