Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It seems like more and more work sites are shifting to a two-day weekend system.

The general contractor also follows a two-day weekend schedule, except on national holidays.

So, let's talk about our money, lol.

 

To put it simply, taking Saturdays off reduces work efficiency, which leads to a drop in output.

This means the company's sales will drop, and,

I think people who are paid by the day or by the month will find this particularly troubling because their income will decrease.

 

To make up for that, I’d like the government to take action by raising wages, but,

If sales don't go up, there's nothing we can do.

Is the idea to try to fix that through cost estimate adjustments?

Looking at the table above, labor costs increase by 1.05 under a 4-week, 8-day-off schedule.

 

What this means is that the labor rate for slope work in Aichi Prefecture is 28,100 yen. Multiply this by 1.05.

The total comes to 29,050 yen.

It increased by 1,405 yen.

So, basically, if you work 4 weeks and take 8 days off, labor costs will increase by 5%, right?

If the worksite operates on a 4-week, 8-day-off schedule, please prepare the estimate by multiplying the total labor costs by 1.05.

If equipment costs are added to that, then,Up 4%That's it.

If there were temporary housing...Up 4%

If there is on-site management,up 6%

 

It's extra, extra, extra!

(It's not from the Jiro series, lol)

 

If, for example, we’re unable to cooperate with this, or if we’re forced to proceed with construction due to on-site circumstances, then

The general contractor will be subject to the reduction.

That’s why the general contractor will certainly try to strictly enforce the “four weeks, eight days off” rule.

That is precisely why we, too, need to be paid accordingly in order to cooperate.

 

If you're a little unsure about the math,

At the end of the total construction costs, as the construction fee for a 4-week, 8-day-off schedule,

Just add about 5%—lol (if possible, include it in your calculations).

 

See you later.
