One hour of work by an entire crew of workers, used to measure productivity and estimate labor costs.
A crew hour is the unit of labor production representing one hour of work performed by a defined crew composed of multiple workers. Productivity rates for construction operations—such as forming, placing, and finishing concrete—are commonly expressed as cubic yards or square feet per crew hour, allowing estimators to calculate labor costs for entire crews rather than individual workers. Crew hour rates account for the coordinated output of the full crew working together.
The concrete crew achieves a production rate of 12 cubic yards per crew hour when placing and finishing a slab, allowing the estimator to calculate the total crew hours needed for the pour.
