I have done alot of precast over the past 28 years.
It is allways time time comsuming
I have done 2 jobs this mouth size of the precast is a big factor we layed some that was almost 300 lb each. and had to be cut before laying. each mason layed about 12 each a day.
we bid that by the cost of the precast. 100% of the cost of the precast for labor.
