estimating drafting time

s=r*(theta)

is there a rule of thumb for estimating drafting time in practice? modeling time? so on & so forth

think about all the sheets you are going to have to create for a drawing set...go sheet by sheet (plans, elevations, sections, wall sections, details, rcps, interior elevations, schedules, keynotes, etc.) and estimate how much time it will take you to do the base drawing, annotate, and dimension each sheet...Then add about 25-50% to CYA...

Use task-based planning in a scheduling program to figure it out.

We used to figure about 40 hours per sheet--when developing entirely new drawings.  (This includes the initial drafting, redlines, and final corrections and formatting).

Obviously if you're using standard details and copy-paste, the set goes together much faster.  For some of the TI work we do that is all prototypical, we can do the sets in as little as 5-6 hours a sheet.  Basically, it boils down to familiarity with building type, how good is your detail library, and how good of a drafter you've got.
