Ratios-

  • 2.5 hr/sf. at 600 sf scale [1]

  • Habitat NOVA - 12-16 months during COVID (conference communications)

Hours

  • 1536 hours for a 600 sf house [4]. This would be 2600 hours for 1000 sf.
  • 1000 hours for 2000 sf - https://www.quora.com/How-many-man-days-does-it-take-to-build-a-typical-residential-house] assuming 6 day weeks of 8 hrs and one month of time with 5 person crew. Really?
  • 2 people 3 months 1500 sf [5] = 1200 hours
  • 3 guys 1 week 1200 sf [6]
  • 4 months 6 men efficient build, 3br. Say it's 2000 sf - 4 mos * 960 (40*6 men *4 weeks) = 4000 hours. 2 man years per house. [7]
  • Framing - 225 hours per 1000 sf [8]
  • 1100 sf mostly alone - 4 mos = 800 hours [9]
  • Summary - 2 man years per house - 6 men 4 mos. Size is assumed average of 2333 sf [10]
  • Or 2 man hours per sf average.
