Understanding Labor Overview
In this section, we discuss basic labor calculations, the leadership of crews, skilled and non-skilled labor usage, job site efficiency, and planning.
When building with ICF’s you’ll need team members to do a variety of jobs.
As work begins team members will:
- Stage material
- Stack ICFs
- Place rebar reinforcement
- Install flooring systems
As the walls go up, the crew will:
- Create and buck openings
- Erect bracing and alignment systems
- Create and install embedments
Lastly, you’ll need people to:
- Align walls
- Pour and consolidate concrete
- Clean the jobsite
- Help with the loadout
It’s important to have at least one person on your site with ICF construction experience, but with a little guidance, almost anyone can build with BuildBlock ICFs. Assembling an effective crew is essential to any project. Most residential jobs can be done with 3-5 people while commercial jobs may require more depending on the size of the project.
