Introduction
• Need for Infrastructure• Need for Skills and Employment• Need to generate both skills and employment
within the existing economy• The use of labour-intensive methods provides an
opportunity to meet both physical and socio-economic objectives

Modern Labour-intensive ConstructionDefinition et Principles
![Page 9: African Partnerships for Sustainable Growth Robert McCutcheon...ROBERT MCCUTCHEON Mutual Aid 1: Africa to South Africa Modern Labour‐intensive Construction in Africa #FIDIC_GAMA2017](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041402/5e179fb79182e50ba90737f1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Modern labour-intensive construction is the economically efficient employment of as great a proportion of labour as is technically feasible(throughout the construction process including the production of materials),in order to achieve as high a standard as demanded by the specification…
![Page 10: African Partnerships for Sustainable Growth Robert McCutcheon...ROBERT MCCUTCHEON Mutual Aid 1: Africa to South Africa Modern Labour‐intensive Construction in Africa #FIDIC_GAMA2017](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041402/5e179fb79182e50ba90737f1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
…the result: a significant increase in productive employment generated per unit of expenditure by comparison with capital-intensive methods without compromising time, cost and quality

Result must be:
…a significant increase in employment per unit
of expenditure…
At least a 300% increase

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
Labour-intensive methods are technically feasible for a wide range of construction activities, and can generally produce the same quality of product as equipment-intensive (conventional) methods. (World Bank, 1976)
![Page 17: African Partnerships for Sustainable Growth Robert McCutcheon...ROBERT MCCUTCHEON Mutual Aid 1: Africa to South Africa Modern Labour‐intensive Construction in Africa #FIDIC_GAMA2017](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041402/5e179fb79182e50ba90737f1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY (1)
Whenever the basic wage actually paid…is less than…about USD $4 per day (1982 prices), and labour is available in adequate quantities, the alternative of using labour-intensive techniques should be seriously considered.
(World Bank,1983)
![Page 18: African Partnerships for Sustainable Growth Robert McCutcheon...ROBERT MCCUTCHEON Mutual Aid 1: Africa to South Africa Modern Labour‐intensive Construction in Africa #FIDIC_GAMA2017](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041402/5e179fb79182e50ba90737f1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY (2)
Whenever the basic wage actually paid…is less than…about USD $10 per day (2002 prices), and labour is available in adequate quantities, the alternative of using labour-intensive techniques should be seriously considered.(World Bank,1983 updated ILO, 2003)
2015: South Africa about R160 ($13.3)

Summary: On Average
• Conventional capital-intensive: 1 job• Labour-intensive would create 3 to 60 jobs• The considerable variation dependent upon type of
project and operation within a project• And location of project• 3 to 5 for high standard infrastructure• 60 for simple infrastructure in a remote area
![Page 21: African Partnerships for Sustainable Growth Robert McCutcheon...ROBERT MCCUTCHEON Mutual Aid 1: Africa to South Africa Modern Labour‐intensive Construction in Africa #FIDIC_GAMA2017](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041402/5e179fb79182e50ba90737f1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Re-engineering: Approach, Product and Process
• Use capital expenditure opportunity in the major economy to generate skills and employment
• Re-engineer industry so that all projects can become as labour-intensive as possible without compromising time, cost and quality (once systems have been established)
• Re-design projects: “As far as possible all work must be done by hand”
• Greater use of labour and other local resources becomes the “Design Driver”
• Policy, legislation and regulation must be in place• Application and enforcement required
![Page 22: African Partnerships for Sustainable Growth Robert McCutcheon...ROBERT MCCUTCHEON Mutual Aid 1: Africa to South Africa Modern Labour‐intensive Construction in Africa #FIDIC_GAMA2017](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041402/5e179fb79182e50ba90737f1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Re-engineering: Approach to Product and Process
Use capital expenditure opportunity in the major economy to generate skills and employment
Re-engineer construction product and process so that all projects can become as labour-intensive as possible without compromising time, cost and quality (when systems have been established)
![Page 23: African Partnerships for Sustainable Growth Robert McCutcheon...ROBERT MCCUTCHEON Mutual Aid 1: Africa to South Africa Modern Labour‐intensive Construction in Africa #FIDIC_GAMA2017](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041402/5e179fb79182e50ba90737f1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Re-engineering: ‘Product’
Re-design projects: “As far as possible all work must be done by hand”
Greater use of labour and other local resources becomes the “Design Driver”:
– Re‐design– Appropriate Specifications– Organisation: (Task based Individual and Group)– Output‐based remuneration
![Page 24: African Partnerships for Sustainable Growth Robert McCutcheon...ROBERT MCCUTCHEON Mutual Aid 1: Africa to South Africa Modern Labour‐intensive Construction in Africa #FIDIC_GAMA2017](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041402/5e179fb79182e50ba90737f1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Re‐engineering: Labour‐intensive Construction: Principles 1Core Principles for Single‐Site Success
• Project treated as proper engineering• Re-engineer Product and Process• ‘Technical Feasibility’: Appropriate categories of
construction especially: Earthworks: Excavation, Load, Haul, Unload and Spread (ELHUS)
• ‘Design driver’: labour-intensive • Re-Design, Specifications, Contract Clauses, BoQs• Economic Efficiency: Conditions of Employment: Output
based remuneration: ‘Task based’ (Individual and Group Tasks)
• Tasks and Teams Balanced• Corollary: not treated as Emergency Relief

Re-engineering: Labour-intensive Construction: Principles 2Core Principles for Multi-Site Success
• Proper engineering: Re-engineer Product and Process
• Plan a long-term Programme of construction projects
• Training good and extensive, particularly: ‘Hands-on’ Site Supervisors and Multi-site Supervisors
• Formal linkages between Training and Construction Programmes
• Start small expand gradually
• Corollary: not treated as Emergency Relief

Long-term, Large-scale Programmes of Skills Development
What is a Programme?• A Series of similar / related projects are planned• Projects are formally linked to a specific training programme• Start small expand gradually• Expand at rate to which:
o Training programme produces skilled personnelo Local authority / community can absorb trained
personnelo Responsible authority can plan, budget, fund, co-ordinate,
monitor, evaluate

Training
Particular attention required for the training
of the ‘Hands‐on’ Site Supervisor
the:‘Missing Middle’

Successful Large Scale Programmes of Labour Intensive Construction and Maintenance
Have always been linked to Specific Training programmes

Site Supervisors: Serious training requiredQuality and Extent must not be underestimated
• Technical: Set out the work taking into account: horizontal and vertical alignment, layer works, side and cross road drainage
• Organise (1): Set the individual or group tasks for different activities under different soil conditions
• Organise (2): Balance activities within specific operations and between the different operations that comprise the construction of a road
• Administration and Control (1): Attendance, tools, equipment, discipline, health and safety, disputes
• Administration and Control (2): Reporting: muster rolls, daily and weekly, planned and actual

Artisans
• Depending upon the type of building and infrastructure, various different types of artisan are required: carpenters, masons, brick layers, steel fixers, plumbers, roofers, plasterers, painters, mechanics
• Much of the work takes place in isolated places• One needs to be confident that the various types of artisan can work
independently with minimal supervision.• This means that they need to have a thorough technical training plus
an experiential base.• The experiential component can be developed during a proper
programme but to start must be off the critical path • The ‘hands-on’ site supervisor is the equivalent of an ‘artisan’

For every trained ‘hands‐on’ site supervisor, work can be created for
5 to 60 unskilled workers
Ratio of ‘Hands‐on’ Supervisor to Workers varies from 1 to 5 to 1 to 60
