Just general building and state codes will require the contractor, the engineer, the plan reviewer with his $0.02, the inspector with his $0.02, the master, the journeyman, and finally the apprentice. It's so bad I have a hard time remembering all the overhead required and need computer apps and templates to help keep track of it all! | |

| Nov 5, 2015 at 0:48 | comment | added | Tester101 | @ojait That's due to unions. You've got the apprentice, who fills the hole. The journeyman, who guides the apprentice. The master, who oversees the journeyman. The site supervisor, who watches over the site. The job supervisor, who manages the job. And the engineer, who makes sure the job is overly complex. | |

| Nov 4, 2015 at 0:19 | comment | added | Comintern | Note that the time scales somewhat with the number of people working - for example, it takes me roughly three times as long to sheetrock a ceiling than it would take 2 people, and 3 people will take less man-hours than 2 people. Obviously depends on the task though. 6 people sheetrocking a ceiling is a lot of man-hours of a couple people standing around and watching. | |
